Title: Goodnight, Tweetheart
Description: Despite
a brilliantly written first novel, Abby Donovan’s writing career is on the
skids, and her agent prescribes a healthy dose of social media, so Abby lands
on Twitter without a clue what she’s doing. English professor Mark Baynard
offers to show her the ropes, so to speak, and the two strike up a flirtatious
twitter relationship. The novel is written mostly in tweets.
Plot: I’ve got a
weakness for epistolary novels, which is basically what this is. There’s a big
plot twist at the end that I didn’t see coming, though that’s probably because
I was reading so fast (this is one of those quick beach-read type books).
Characters: Both
Abby and Mark have difficulties to overcome, but their friendship comes across
as genuine.
Writing style: The
novel goes into “cutesy” a little too frequently for me. That’s always a danger
when authors try to write “witty banter,” which, what else can you do in a
novel based on Tweets?
Audience: It’s a
romance.
Wrap-up: A fun
summer read, just what I needed for a change. 4/5*
