Book Report #68 - Lights On, Los Angeles

Lights On, Los Angeles by Rachel Bird

I don't usually read chick lit because a lot of the time I end up wanting to beat an important character senseless. Since I wrote this book I thought the least I could do was read it. I gave it a couple of months since my final edit before I picked it up again. And I'm happy to report that I actually had a good time!

Lights On, Los Angeles is the sequel to Lights Out, Los Angeles. They are Laker-inspired novels about recent UCLA graduate Sara Banks finding herself cleaning the house of her favorite player on the basketball team she is an absolute fanatic about, the Los Angeles Celebrities. Her crush Jake soon develops a crush on her and it's game on.

There's enough ridiculousness to keep you entertained. The main character is actually intelligent and capable. However, she's young so she doesn't know what the hell she wants. Jake, on the other hand, manages to be that level of perfect that stops short of annoying. I was surprised to find that men think that he's just the greatest.

General consensus: Fun!
