Do you have an hour or so to spare for an enjoyable read?  If so, check out Opening Act by Suleikha Snyder, a fun and realistic contemporary novella.Saroj Shah has been in love with Adam Harper since the day they met as freshman in college, about seven years ago. Unfortunately, Adam has never considered Saroj to be more than a good friend or sister, much to Saroj's dismay. Now they are both in the workforce, Saroj an entertainment reporter for the local paper and Adam, a restaurant manager.  Adam is also a hot bass player with a local grunge band.  Because of Saroj's feelings for Adam, she has been one of the band's groupies for years. Now she is required to hear them play because it is her job to cover them for the paper.Adam is basically clueless and has no idea that Saroj has feelings for him.  He is shocked when he finally finds out and needs a little time to regroup. Unfortunately, Saroj is tired of waiting. However, they are able to work through their issues and discover a possible future together.I liked this novella.  The writing is good, the characters are well-developed and the plot is heartfelt as well as realistic. Saroj is a bit whiny at times, but it is understandable because she has waited seven years for Adam to come around. Johnny, Adam's band-mate and best friend, is funny and a bit devious, which adds another dimension to this gem of a read.A gifted copy was provided by publisher for an honest review.
