Romance— Contemporary
It's been a while since I read a book that I had a hard time putting down, so I was thrilled to finally get one! I really enjoyed this book since it was not a typical romance.
The book begins with Silvia as a little girl, who has a huge trial that she has to overcome. She deals with the results of that trial for the rest of her life. It's so interesting how the author blends so much of that into all the aspects of Silvia's life.
Silvia is a strong, independent young woman. Sometimes she has a hard time realizing that in the book, but given the things she has to deal with in her professional life, she definitely shows that she's tough! I was impressed with her fortitude and skills in handling the things that were thrown at her.
The relationship between Silvia and her grandmother was one of my favorite things in the book. I loved how close they were and how her grandmother seemed to be able to know what Silvia needed.
Silvia and Ben were fun to read about. It was so interesting to see their relationship develop and I'll admit - it had me guessing what would happen up until the end. There were some definite twists and turns for me and I was glad the book was not predictable.
Overall, Lies, Love and Breakfast and Tiffany's was a fairly quick read, but one that I think you will savor. It's definitely worth taking your time to make it last a little bit longer.
And a quick tip - if you don't know anything about Audrey Hepburn, it wouldn't hurt to brush up on who she (or what she looks like!) is before reading the book.
Summary:
The Lie
Women in Hollywood are just pretty faces. But Silvia Bradshaw knows that’s a lie, and she’s ready to be treated as an equal and prove her worth as one of Hollywood’s newest film editors.
The Love
She and Ben Mason had worked together as editors before Silvia got her big break, so he’s the perfect person to ask for feedback on her first major film. But even as their friendship begins to blossom into something more, a lawsuit surfaces, jeopardizing both Ben and Silvia’s jobs—as well as their fledgling romance. Audrey Hepburn once said: “The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.” Silvia agrees. Or she used to. It’s one thing to risk her job and her heart, but can she really risk Ben’s, too? Does she have the right to make decisions for her own happiness when they affect so many other people?
The Breakfast
With everything to lose, Silvia meets Ben for breakfast at his favorite diner, Tiffany’s, for one last conversation before the credits roll on true love.
