Aspiring actress Amanda Clark and photographer Michelle Osinski are two women burned by love and not looking to test the fire again. And even if they were, it certainly wouldn't be with each other. Amanda has never been attracted to a butch woman before, and Michelle personifies the term butch. Having just landed a role on a hot new TV show, she's determined to focus on her career and doesn't need any complications in her life. After a turbulent breakup with her starlet ex, Michelle swore she would never get involved with an actress again. Another high-maintenance woman is the last thing she wants, and her first encounter with Amanda certainly makes her appear the type. But after a date that is not a date and some meddling from Amanda's grandmother, they both begin to wonder if it's not time for a departure from their usual dating scripts. --Provided by publisher.… (mehr)

This was a very quick and enjoyable read. I'm a huge fan of Jae's historical romances and have enjoyed most of her shape-shifter books. Oh, and the detective series, too. Departure from the Script joins the others on my "yep, I liked this book" list.

I won't lie, I was a little annoyed at the number of times the couple were interrupted during intimate times - not just physically intimate, but emotionally intimate, as well. It happened so often that the characters were annoyed, too. But I liked Amanda and Michelle so much that it wasn't that much of a hardship to just roll with it.

The writing was good and the dialogue felt natural. These women felt like real folks and it's always a joy to read a romance that has believable situations and genuine characters. There was no misunderstandings or exaggerated angst - I had not a single instance of wanting to shake the hell out of someone. I don't think I had any bullshit moments, either.

I've already got the sequel loaded up and ready to go.

3.5 if I could. ( )

Recensione su: Book Lover

Disclaimer: Il libro mi è stato dato in cambio di una recensione onesta

Amanda è un'aspirante attrice che fa fatica a trovare dei ruoli importanti. Proprio come quegli agognati ruoli, l'amore sembra non voler arrivare. Forse è un bene: la donna è terrorizzata al pensiero di vedere la propria carriera distrutta se si scoprisse che è lesbica.
Michelle, invece, è una fotografa che non si fa affatto questi problemi, e anzi è di una sincerità abbastanza disarmante.
Le due si incontrano il 14 Febbraio ad una festa "Anti-San Valentino" e, anche se all'inizio entrambe hanno pregiudizi sull'altra, instaurano un rapporto amichevole... E forse romantico.
Riusciranno a stare assieme, o le regole di Hollywood le terranno divise?

Chi mi conosce sa che io leggo poco o nulla di genere romance, e se lo leggo è LGBT . Insomma, non è nei miei generi preferiti.
Ammetto però che il libro è scritto davvero bene, e che non riuscivo a staccarmene. L'ho finito in poco tempo perché la scrittura è così fluida e leggera, e mi sono affezzionata sia ad Amanda che a Michelle.

Ho apprezzato molto la storia in sé: Jae ha inserito un tema piuttosto importante, quello del coming out. E noi queer sappiamo bene che farlo può portare a conseguenze disastrose. Anche se, a volte, le persone possono stupirci.
Pur con un tema così grosso è importante, personalmente penso che la storia sia poco impegnativa: l'ho divorato anche per questo, in quanto è stato un ottimo stacco da libri molto più "pesanti".
Il romanzo non è neanche molto lungo, e non ne ha bisogno: la storia va avanti spedita e senza inutili divagazioni.

Per quanto riguarda i personaggi, l'unico maschio nella storia non ci fa una gran bella figura e poco mi importa di lui.
La storia è portata avanti dalle donne. In particolare Amanda, sua nonna, e Michelle.
Amanda è una brava attrice, e, giustamente, si preoccupa del coming out. È qualcosa che le persone LGBT conoscono bene, molti di noi ne hanno paura. Quindi ho potuto relazionarmi con Amanda praticamente da subito.
Michelle è molto diversa, sicura di sé e comprensiva.
Nel complesso le due sono davvero una bella coppia, e non mi dispiacerebbe un altro romanzo su di loro!
La nonna di Amanda, Josephine, è davvero fantastica. Aiuta la nipote in qualsiasi modo, anche impicciandosi un po' nella sua vita amorosa. La adoro. In particolare, ho amato il sotterfugio che ha messo in atto per conoscere Michelle, ma è uno spoiler, quindi sto zitta.

Come ho detto, lo stile è davvero leggero, e mi ci voleva una lettura che non fosse pesante o tosta. Qualche volta c'è bisogno di staccare la spina e immergersi in una storia d'amore.

Ovviamente, consigliatissimo! ( )

I enjoyed Departure From The Script a lot; even if it's on the predictable side, it's the good kind of dependable, where you know you're going to get a solid romantic read. The characters (both main and secondary) are extremely likable and fully fleshed out and Jae, as always, writes well.

I'd strongly recommend this for a cozy afternoon, especially if you need to escape from real life for a few hours. Cute, sweet and full of refreshing sincerity, Departure is a stand-out in its genre. ( )

this is well written enough and has some nice phrasing throughout. it really isn't my thing to read romances, but still i found myself smiling through a bit of this even in spite of there being no real conflict or tension to drive the slight story forward. my real issue, and the one that grates on me more and more as i think about this book, is that there wasn't a story at all, just the sexual tension building up. not even the tension of "are they going to get together" (which isn't enough for me, either) but only when are they going to get together. i want more than this. i'm annoyed (not just in this book) with the butch/femme dynamic that feels so pervasive in this genre, and i wanted much more of a story, but still found this easy and at least pretty well written.

this Lesbian romance has a completely unlikely plot, hence my low rating. The writing is decent, for the genre. ( )
