Semi-Scripted by Amanda Heger: Review

I love it when you pick up a book and you think it’s one type of a story but yet it turns into something completely different. I was able to read a brand-new release for review that ended up to be a fun and quirky read. Completely not what I was expecting. Check out:

Semi-Scripted by Amanda Heger
Series: Wanderlove (Book 2)

Marisol Gutierrez has come to Los Angeles with a single goal: win the prestigious grant that will save her family’s struggling medical clinic back in Nicaragua. But, when a cute guy invites her to sit in the audience of a hip-but-failing comedy program, Marisol figures she’ll get a little entertainment out of her otherwise stress-filled trip.

Evan Abramson thought an internship at The So Late It’s Early Show would be the start of a long television-writing career, but their ratings are sinking. With every show, his plans seem one step closer to collapse. When a backstage crisis throws him into an onstage encounter with a gorgeous and charming audience member, Evan and Marisol become overnight sensations. And soon their made-for-television romance is the only thing keeping So Late from cancellation.

As things heat up onscreen and off, Marisol and Evan are caught between their careers and their growing feelings for one another. Being together in front of the cameras puts Marisol’s grant at risk, but keeping their romance off-screen means Evan’s show is sure to fail. Together they have to decide whether to stick with the script and save their careers or improvise their way toward a happily ever after.

Review of Semi-Scripted by Amanda Heger

This is the first book I have read by this author. The first part of the book leaves you a little disconnected as far as what the story is about or what is going on. But then as you get into the second chapter and more, you begin to put together the whole story.

From the witty addiction of people to game shows and what they’ll do to get on one, to the crazy things people will do to sabotage another for the sake of winning, you get to see people at their worst in the story.

The author brings together two people who seemingly have nothing in common but yet have the ability to find humor and play off each other for a fun rom-com story that becomes a bit addicting.

With two different story’s going at the same time and a little romance thrown on the side, it’s tough to try to figure out how the two will come together. But the author does a good job with this crazy story and leaves you with a delightful thoughts of a possible HEA. I was hoping for a complete closure in the story but she left it open for us to figure it out what was to come… or maybe another story?

For something delightful and a bit different in style that of a typical romance or chicklit read, check out Semi-Scripted by Amanda Heger. I think you will enjoy this story just like I did!
