Zoe has a lot on her plate. She is an editor for an established music magazine whose sales are declining. She has had this position longer than any of her relationships lasted. She has to score an interview with a reclusive music icon in order to boost revenue. Her brother is getting married soon and Simon, the boy she fell in love with twenty years ago, has moved back to London. Could this be her chance for love? To complicate matters, Nick, an arrogant, sexy, and handsome publicity agent enters and complicates Zoe's world.
There is so much about this story that makes it worth reading. The author brings to readers a diverse group of characters who blend beautifully. Their dialogue is witty and genuine. Relationships are an important part of this book. The narrative is well-plotted and well-paced. Zoe is a well-defined protagonist. As the story progresses readers will get to know her quite well and for the short time that we follow her life we see what she learns about herself.
I found LOVE SONGS for SKEPTICS to be an endearing and engaging story. Highly recommended.
Book Summary
Zoë Frixos gets the whole love song thing. Truly, she does. As an editor at a major music magazine, it's part of her job description. But love? Let's just say Zoë's been a bit off-beat in that department. After falling hard for her best friend, Simon, at thirteen and missing every chance to tell him how she felt before he left town, Zoë came to one grand conclusion:
Love stinks.
Twenty years later, Simon is returning to London, newly single and as charming as ever, and Zoë vows to take her second chance. But, with an arrogant publicist out to challenge her career, Simon's perfect ex-girlfriend's sudden arrival, and her brother's big(ish) fat(ish) Greek wedding on the horizon, Zoë begins to wonder if, after all these years, she and Simon simply aren't meant to be.
What if, despite what all the songs and movies say, your first love isn't necessarily the right one? In the wake of a life-changing choice, Zoë must decide if she's right to be skeptical about love, or if it's simply time to change her tune...
