WWJCD? Find out why it's okay for Jessica Sinclair - socialite and troublemaker - not to be June Cleaver.Irene Preston drops you in the middle of a Hollywood socialite's exciting, glamorous life - the real side of it. Jessica's self-deprecating attitude makes her likeable. She so badly wants to be a PTA mom and falters in her emulation of June Cleaver. I loved watching her learn to be selfless and turn her shortcomings into strengths.Jessica rocked the step-parent situation. Morgan (whom I imagined as a stressed-out yet charming Patrick Dempsey type) adores Jessica and struggles to reconcile his steadfast nature with her free spirit. The troubled-but-worth-saving-marriage theme came across sympathetically to me.I give "Infamous" 4.5-5 stars for the masterful writing and endearing, lifelike characters. Irene Preston gets away with the "Big Misunderstanding" plot element, she does it so well. She convinced me it's possible for pride to keep people from communicating while caring enough to hope.Lots of delightful one-liners, but I won't spoil it for you. Lovely romance. Top-notch writing. Nonstop entertainment. Don't miss Irene Preston's "Infamous."Note: I was provided an ARC for review as a professional courtesy. No monetary or other compensation was involved.
