Right at the get-go, you’ll start giggling, then laughing out loud over Zara Kingsley’s ‘A Moral Dilemma’. I never thought I’d enjoy a romantic comedy book that comes out of the self-publishing universe, but here it is. If you love authors like Sophie Kinsella, then you’ll love Zara Kingsley—Zara has the knack for crafting funny scenes that don’t feel “forced” but are actually integral consequences of the plot, which makes the book all the more entertaining.‘A Moral Dilemma’ is about Rebecca Hardy’s “moral dilemma.” Deeply disillusioned after catching her boyfriend cheating, Rebecca sort of wages a war against the immorality of modern men and women as her own little means of building protective walls around her. Rebecca—prim and proper and always meaning well—could not stomach what she regards as moral decay around her, not to mention the “immoral” shenanigans of her very own BFF Abigail. But Rebecca’s resolve is tested and turned upon its head when she meets Isabella Coombs, who gives her an offer Rebecca could not stomach—yet, could not refuse.What’s amazing is that while this is basically a romantic comedy, Rebecca’s story inevitably touches upon many issues concerning relationships and friendships. The sense of authenticity is uncanny—the scenes throb with verisimilitude and never feel like they are crafted for hilarity’s sake. What’s more, Zara Kingsley writes with that own distinct literary voice—although she writes in an extremely popular genre, she is no poor wannabe, but shines in her own right. ‘A Moral Dilemma’ is an incredibly entertaining read from start to finish—and it will leave you wanting for more of Zara Kingsley’s writing.
