You, Me and the Movies

This book made me laughing, falling in love and ultimately crying. The agony that is first love was very convincingly written and I was there with them in their private screening room, watching the classic movies that I too love so much.

This is a nice work of chick-lit; it is written well, and not all of the characters were one-dimensional. This book captivated me. It really is just perfect! Overall, this was a light and engaging read.

What makes this book special is the characters and how invested you get as Collins takes them through good times, bad times, serendipitous turns, heartbreaking realizations and nostalgia trips. And despite delving in sensitive topics such as abuse, depression, extra-marital affairs and more, the book never gets melodramatic. Collins is tactful in her approach and guides both the characters and the readers delicately through heavy themes, never lingering longer than needed.

You, me and the movies is the perfect book for the fans of the movie theaters. It will fill an emptiness you have felt all your life.Perfectly entwined movie references with one incredible love story.
