Fashioning a Romance is an endearing, quirky, lovely tale. Caitlyn is an American who works for John's sister. The instant they meet, he's drawn to her. But she always holds back, afraid he's just a player.They travel to Paris and their relationship unfolds. I pictured actress Emma Stone as Caitlyn. Caitlyn is smart, adorable, goofy and a character you won't forget. She's strong, and she makes it hard for John to pursue her. The characterization is strong, and I feel like I really know the two of them well. John is hot, successful, and holds a PhD in Medieval History.The book takes you to the streets of Paris, the museums, the restaurants. It's a lovely journey. Mercer writes beautifully, and she adds lots of texture to the story. John often quotes famous philosophers and artists, and I love when Caitlyn calls him on it. Then she makes him find a quote for every mundane sentence that comes out of her mouth.The black moment is very believable.Sweet, smart and quirky -- A must read!
