The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun is romance with a difference. Dev Deshpande is a producer on
a reality TV series called Ever After. Ever After is a dating show kind of
along the lines of the Bachelor. Dev is a romantic and deeply believes that the
show offers a path to true love. Charlie
Winshaw comes on the show as the current season’s contestant. Charlie is
awkward, anxious, and on the show in an attempt to rescue his image. Dev is put
in charge of getting Charlie into the swing of things. Soon it becomes clear that there is chemistry
between Dev & Charlie, more chemistry then there is between Charlie and any
of the other contestants. Throw in a manipulative producer, a cadre of helpful
friends, and a host of mental health quirks and things soon take a turn.
A cute romance with things to say about what love is and what we expect from relationships. I would recommend it

October is a fiction month for the Arroyo Book Club, so we will be reading The Women by Kristin Hannah for our discussion. It is the story of one woman who joins the Army Nurse Corps to follow her brother to Vietnam. To quote from the catalog description:
“The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.”
