Everyone should have a goal in life. For Star Shine Meadows, the daughter of self-proclaimed hippies, her goal is to be happy. Her parents taught her that tying herself down to people, places, or jobs is limiting. So, Star works as a professional line sitter and character actor (e.g. dressing up like a Disney Princess for a child’s birthday party). Since every sunshine must have a grump, the meet-cute happens when she’s dressed as Merida from Brave and she meets Rafferty "Rafe" Whitman, uncle of the high society birthday girl. A second chance encounter shortly thereafter leads to Rafe offering her a job pretending his girlfriend to keep his family from continuously trying to set him up with women. Such is the newest rom-com by Samantha Young entitled THE LOVE PLOT.
As their relationship develops with various responses from their friends and family, Rafe and Star must work their way through misunderstandings as they catch feelings and try to fit into each other's worlds. As characters, Rafe is grating in the beginning but shifts to super soft pretty fast, as he and Star fall for one another.
THE LOVE PLOT is an enjoyable quick read with witty dialogue and fun secondary characters including some you’ll love to hate. The overriding theme of the tale is what is a compromise in a relationship and what is changing yourself into someone else when they should love you as you are.
