Fantasyland - D.J. Starling
Genre: Adult, Romance
This
was a wonderful love story. From the minute Rick and Sandi meet the love story
blossoms. Not always the way you think
it should or will. Sandi first falls for
Rick when she is eleven years old. Rick was the teen idol hanging on so many
bedroom walls. Remember those days?
Sandi is so obsessed she dreams of going to college in California in hopes of
one day meeting him. Her father raised her and her brother after her mom died.
They always played a game using song lyrics.
This kind of made me think of the show my mom watches NCIS where one of
the characters is always spouting movie lines from old movies. Sandi’s father always encouraged her to
follow her dreams. After he passes away
she does just that. She moves to California to go to college. Once there she
meets a gorgeous guy named Paul and falls for him. Imagine her surprise when she learns that he
is actually her teen idol all grown up. Their relationship in the beginning is
complicated yet moves along at a realistic pace. As we get further into the
book we find there is also heartache.
This is not unrealistic, yet borders on it. It is a great book for those of us who want
to believe in our romantic dreams.
