Better than the Book by M.E. CarterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Better than the Book" by M.E. Carter and Andrea Johnston was a super cute and laugh-out-loud funny story that featured endearing characters and a delightful romance between stage manager/blogger Celeste Pumperkin and actor Hunter Stone. The two of them had incredible chemistry, and I loved their witty, flirtatious banter.
There were so many moments that made me smile and laugh while I was reading this book, but my favorites were when Hunter confused Ambien for Tylenol and Celeste's assorted struggles to get to the fan convention for Hunter's TV show. I also laughed every time someone messed up Celeste's last name. To be fair, it was quite unusual, and even Hunter ended up just calling her "Celeste Pumper-whatever" after a while.
This was the first book I've read in the Charitable Endeavors series, but I enjoyed meeting Carrie and Matthew from "Model Behavior" here, and their story sounds like it was just as much fun as Hunter and Celeste's. I will definitely be going back to read that one.
Overall, I really enjoyed "Better than the Book" and recommend it for all fans of contemporary romantic comedy. I look forward to checking out the other books in this series.
