Bleurgh. This book really isn't very good. I'm sure the author is lovely and sweet but this is one of the worst chick lit books I've read in a while. Here's why...I'm not quite sure I liked one single character, especially not Billy. He was absolutely ridiculous - always cheerful, making stupidly boring/supposedly funny comments and as for the 'throw the head back' laugh?! Good god. He sounds like the most boring man of all time. Sophie was almost as bad, a spoilt over sensitive brat who youLet me just flat out say that this book was incredibly cheesy. And not even in a good way! I was incredibly excited to get a copy of this, but I am extremely disappointed! There was no substance in this book at all. Most importantly, there was no chemistry between Billy and Sophie. The author just chucked them out there, expecting us to work out their relationship, without even making an effort to make it work. Despite all the I love yous and I need yous being thrown around, it just didn't work.
This was such a quick read, I loved it!
ARC received courtesy of Goodreads.com First Reads Giveaway"Billy and Me" was such a fun read! The author, Giovanna Fletcher, featured a young woman from a small village who falls for a movie star. He falls for her as well and the story is off! Sophie's character is very well rounded and her back story is well explained. The only part of the story that I didn't like was Sophie's behavior after she and Billy parted ways. I found her to be simpering and she seemed so overly dependent on Billy that
Really easy and cute to read! A slightly predictable story, and I did find myself getting irritated by Sophie's mentality towards Billy's acting commitments, but still enjoyable. Not overly romantic or dramatic, just a simple slice-of-life!
3.5/5It was time for a reread since the sequel has come out and I had no recollection of what actually happened in Billy and Me. This book has a particular significance to me, as I made it a point to buy it in London when I was studying abroad there in 2013. It's the only book I own that I've ever gotten in a foreign country, therefore no "Americanization" of the text. *Cough* Harry Potter *Cough. I enjoyed the story the second time around, though not quite as much as the first go around. I do
