Tuesday Book Review on Wednesday


 Four-star review of Life, Unscheduled by Kristin Rockaway

 Romance with a message. I may be from a completely different generation than the first-person POV character, Nicole, and yet I can relate to the idea of letting one’s schedule rule their life. The type of personality that thinks having a schedule is equal to having control. The type that hides behind that schedule so as not to be hurt emotionally. Nicole works for a company that makes nanobots, ostensibly to help people. The corporate culture feeds into her determination to get a promotion, to do the best job she can. Meanwhile, her best friend is getting married and wants her to be the maid-of-honor, rather than the bride’s sisters. She shoehorns in time to be the best maid-of-honor that she can, while her friend resigns to the over-the-top wedding her family demands. And then Nicole meets a man who claims to understand that she has to be at the office 24/7. A recipe for the disasters that occur later in the story.
