Otherwise Engaged
Otherwise Engaged: A Novel | Lindsey Palmer
4 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
This is the smartest romantic comedy I've readand it's compulsively readable! Julia Fierro, author of The Gypsy Moth Summer and Cutting Teeth Life is sweet for New Yorkers Molly and Gabe: They're young, in love, and newly engaged. But when Gabe sells his first novela thinly-veiled retelling of his wild love affair with ex-girlfriend Taliaand it becomes a national sensation, Molly can't help but feel like the third wheel. To make matters worse, Talia reappears in Gabe's life, eager to capitalize on the book's success and to rekindle what she had with Gabe... at least, that's how it seems to Molly. But of even more concern? Gabe doesn't seem concerned at all. Instead, he's delighting in his newfound fame and success. Jealous, paranoid, and increasingly desperate, Molly starts to spin out of control. Her social life, work life, and love life all go to pieces. As fact and fiction, and past and present, begin to blur, Molly realizes the only way out of this downward spiral is to fight her way back up. But whatif anythingwill be left of her life and her relationship when she arrives? Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Jennifer Weiner, Otherwise Engaged explores the life we seek when the life we have... suddenly goes down the drain.

Moray_Reads @vivastory Thank you so much, Scott. It's still sinking in but starting the planning is at least a nice way to spend some of this endless lockdown time. How are you getting on? 4y

This book is only 1.99 today! I really liked this book. It is chick lit with a unique premise. The main character Molly finds herself full of angst when her boyfriend writes a book based on his past relationship. This book is the definition of a summer read. It is a quick novel that you can devour while sitting at the pool, or in my case, in the boat at the lake. ⁣

I've heard so many pleasant things about this book I was expecting to really enjoy it. And I was in the beginning. Somewhere in the middle it took a turn for me and became a story where every character was behaving horribly and I just could not root for anyone. Luckily for me it took a turn after the mid-point and I was satisfied with the way it came together in the end.

GingerAntics I always wonder how on Earth a digital copy can be more expensive than a physical copy. It‘s illogical. It‘s just adding money into the price, knowing people will gladly pay for the instant access of a digital book. 5y
