IN NEED OF THERAPY? Of Course, you are! Aren't we all! Author, Tracie Banister has written a clever romantic comedy, IN NEED OF THERAPY (INOT) that will keep you entertained once you've opened your paperback, kindle or nook. Isn't it one of the cutest covers you've ever seen? It's fresh, the colors just pop and having read it, I can tell you with certainly, you won't be disappointed!
Miami psychologist, Pilar Alvarez could use a therapist herself with everything that's going on in her personal and professional life. She's twenty-nine, has an overbearing Cuban mother who fears she'll be a spinster if she doesn't marry before she's thirty, two annoying sisters, one of whom "borrows" her clothes and mooches off of her rent-free. And then there's the slimy borderline stalker-ex-boyfriend who won't take no for an answer, the escalating rent on her office space and at least one patient who doesn't respect boundaries.
But before I continue writing about the novel's story-line, I want to share something about Tracie's ability to describe things that matter most in chick-lit - THE KISS! I nominate her for writing one of the best, if not the best kiss ever. If you're reading this, chances are you read a lot of chick-lit, perhaps you've already read INOT. If you haven't, I'm putting this at the top of my review so YOU WON'T MISS IT! I suggest you be on the look-out for this kiss because it is so yummy! You won't want to miss it! But I'm not going to SPOIL IT by telling you who it's between!
"And is was a great kiss, an amazing kiss, a kiss that should have had a poem written about it, a kiss that started out sweet and tender, then quickly morphed into something so hot and passionate that it was almost primal."
HELLO! Isn't that just delish? Now on to INOT.
Pilar Alvarez is the kind of girl everyone wants to be friends with, but there are times you're going to want her to toughen up. She's the middle daughter of the Alvarez family - the peacemaker, and she lets people roll over her - even in business, people cross the line. She has a heart of gold and really wants to help her patients, but she's still learning, both professionally and personally. She struggles with work and enjoying the career she loves against the pressure of her Cuban/Chilean family who want her to follow traditional Latino values, get married, give up her career and start a family.
INOT is classic chick-lit and Tracie has created a world with enough well-developed characters, twists and turns, to keep you engaged until the last page. Pilar is the kind of woman most can relate to, because she's just trying to do her best where she's at, no more, no less, and really, isn't that what we're all striving for?
I live in Miami and appreciate how accurate Tracie is when referring to the Magic City. She lives in the Atlanta area and she places INOT in South Florida. I applaud her for making Miami look so wonderful!
But back to kisses. Wait until readers meet a certain guy. That's all I'm saying.
"I kissed Ford because I wanted to, because it felt good and somehow, natural, like his mouth was meant for mine."
OMG! Let me repeat, you won't be disappointed.
We'll be back next Wednesday with another review! xo cindy
