Lies, Love, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a charming contemporary romance penned by Julie Wright. Set in Hollywood, the plot is clever and creative while still maintaining a realistic feel. The novel’s heroine, Silvia, is a strong and hard-working woman with a great sense of humor. Silvia played a secondary role in Wright’s previous novel, Lies Jane Austen Told Me. Now in the spotlight, Silvia is not looking for love, but trying to move up in her career. Her attempts to follow her passion in work lead to a relationship that is full of wit, but also romantic and warmhearted. Lies, Love, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s is perfect for fans of classic Hollywood. Wright includes quotes from Aubrey Hepburn movies at the beginning of each chapter, and the frequent discussion of Hepburn will leave readers nostalgic for the days of Hollywood glitz and glamor. Lies, Loves, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a book with heart and would make a fantastic book club read. Discussion questions are even included! Pick up a copy today.
