All My Restless Life to Live by Dee DeTarsio
Publication date: April 29th 2013
Genres: Adult, Romance
Purchase: Amazon | B&N
Award-winning author Dee DeTarsio combines life’s darker side with humor and tenderness in a wonderfully charming look at love and the afterlife.
Life is a soap opera, especially for Elle Miller, who is a TV producer. (Ellen dropped the “n” in her name in hopes of finding a better ending for herself.) When her laptop crashes, she borrows her dead dad’s computer and gets way more than she bargained for.
As Elle tries to save her career with a storyline featuring a trip through Atlantis, she takes a trip to the Emmys, and finds herself in the middle of a romance between a real doctor and a hunk who just plays one on TV. Friends, family, and clues from “the other side” all help Elle figure out the difference between living the good life . . . and living a good life.

Why
Guys Should Read Chick Lit
What most guys don’t know, is that women’s fiction has a lot on offer.
I don’t think I’m being presumptuous about the reading habits of XYs.
My husband (who has earned his title of “beditor”) wouldn’t be caught dead reading *girl* stuff,
unless I convince him otherwise.

His biggest complaint is that “women sure do think a lot.” That’s right, we do. Live and learn, hombres.
What can guys learn from chick lit? Lots of cool stuff.
Like women think it’s sexier for guys to fill up our cars with gas, than to play bongos on our ass.
(See what we did there, it’s sing-songy and rhymes so guys can easily remember it.)

It’s not like men are from Jupiter, that’s why they’re stupider . . . (though if the planet fits!)
This is just an open invitation to those he-men of the universe to take a ride on the chick slide.
(That sounds dirty but maybe it will help attract their attention.)

There are so many smart, fun women writers, it would be great if guys would read it and weep.
For extra relationship-bonus points, they can share their feelings in a bedtime book report!
And they all lived
...happily ever after.

DeleteThey could certainly learn a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think so too!
DeleteObviously, it's really a taste thing but I think they should be open to it. It's too bad that some guys would get mocked for reading something like this because I think some guys would really enjoy these stories!
ReplyDeleteSo very true.
