Mmmm this is really difficult to write as I don't know how to review this book without giving any spoilers away.  It wasn't what I expected at all, that is for sure.  From the blurb I was expecting a Contemporary Romance but it isn't.  I would say Jenny's Blue Velvet is more of a psychological thriller.  It is very clever with lots of plot twists that smack you in the face.The story is told in two ways.  First a chapter is written in Jenny's point of view, which is told in the first person then another chapter is written as though you are actually reading Jenny's book. The book that Jenny is writing doesn't make much sense at all and I didn't enjoy those chapters as much as Jenny's POV but stick with it as everything comes clear in the end and what an ending it is.This is a novella so it isn't very long but it is perfectly paced for the amount of pages there are.  I sometimes want more depth from the characters in a short story but this one was spot on and would probably have been detrimental to the story if the book was longer.I'm sorry I can't go into more detail as I really would be spoiling it but I really did like this book. As I said it is nothing like anything I have read before and certainly not a contemporary romance.  It is very clever with a massive twist and I recommend you try it.  Jenny's Blue Velvet gets 4 stars from me.
