The Charm Offensive

 

image of book cover

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

The Arroyo Book Club October Pick….

 

image of book cover

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.”

 Stop by the branch for a copy of the book.

 We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, October 24 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.
