It’s been a year since Nora’s husband Ben left her and their two children, and she’s doing just fine. He wasn’t much of a husband or father, and since she was doing everything anyway AND earning the money, it’s better now that he’s gone.
Nora writes scripts for The Romance Channel and she’s got it down pat. Give her a location and an occupation and she can create a fluffy, feel-good love story. But her latest script, about her and Ben’s relationship, is a departure for her, and it is now being turned into an actual movie, with A-list stars playing the roles inspired by Nora and Ben. And that’s not all—they’re actually filming at her house about 90 minutes outside NYC.
Leo, the film’s star, once named Sexiest Man Alive, seems to be fascinated with the mundane details of Nora’s life. And once filming ends, Leo makes her a proposition: he’ll pay her $1000 a day if he can stay for a week. She certainly could use the money, and it seems like Leo could use some exposure to normal, small-town life, so she agrees.
Of course, just like in one of Nora’s scripts, a lot can happen in a week. Someone can become a fixture in a small town. Or fall in love. And yet, even though Nora knows how these relationships work—she’s certainly written a lot of them—it doesn’t prepare her heart for what comes next.
This was just so good. It totally took the rom-com script and played with it a bit, and all of the characters really took hold of my heart. And I would love to see any of the movies Nora wrote as part of the book!!
