Five Things I Can’t Live Without
by Holly Shumas
Five Things I Can’t Live Without is a refreshing, easy read. You don’t have to do much thinking here; the
story tells it all. Nora doesn’t like her job writing bios for dogs and cats at the animal shelter. She doesn’t
like animals. What she does well however, is write about them. What she pens finds homes for these animals that
otherwise would be put down. So one day, she just up and quits. No thought, no forewarning, nothing, just quits.
She goes home to tell her boyfriend Dan what she did, thinking he would be supportive, but instead he tells her
she made a huge mistake. You don’t quit your job until you have another one lined up, or at least the average
person goes about it this way. But not Nora!
Then it dawns on her: she can write bios for people who are trying to find love on Internet dating websites.
Her friends think she would be good at this and, she decides, why not, I can give it a try. So she puts an ad on
Craig’s List and waits for the first taker. She doesn’t have to wait all that long before she has her first
writing job.
Let’s skip ahead a bit; Nora is not sure her relationship with her boyfriend Dan is going all that well. The
excitement and pizzazz has gone. So she thinks of ways in which she can liven it up a bit. Keep reading to find
out how she does this. I can’t tell you everything!
I enjoyed this book, but I was not in love with it. The writing style takes a bit of getting used to, and I
think maybe takes away from the story a bit, at least in my opinion. I would recommend it, if you are looking
for something new, different and refreshing! |
