Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys
By Eric Garcia
Cassandra
French is not a normal twenty-something-year-old. Sure she works
as a lawyer and goes out with her friends searching for guys on
weekends but that is just the top layer of Cassie. What most people
don't know about her is that her mother is on house arrest and oh,
yeah, she has three men tied up in her basement. Cassie has decided
to teach these three men to be real men, what women really want.
Things are going well with Cassie's school until she goes out with
Jason Kelly, movie star, and he tries to use her for his own devices.
Cassie tries to make Jason her new student, only to be struck with
tragedy. Before her eyes, everything she has worked so hard for
is going downhill and Cassie must figure out how to salvage her
life.
Eric
Garcia is a talented author. He manages to take a wacky, oddball
story and keep it interesting. The characters are certainly unique
and although the book borders on the ridiculous at times, I found
myself wanting to keep reading to find out what would happen. What
also stood out about this book is the quick and witty dialogue.
If you are looking for a different type of book, Cassandra French's
Finishing School for Boys is at the top of that list.
