When in Rome


Author: Gemma Townly
To be honest when I saw the book in my friends hand and she did told me to read it I really thought it will be another management or the boring book kind of stuff. Started the first page phew... effect was spellbinding. I can never believe it. The book is so honest depiction of the feelings of a girl. She wants to be acclaimed, noted, be important and yet so confused about life. Georgie is a nice girl who is attractive good looking but always rates herself as an average. She hates meetings and office stuff. She wants to freak out, out have fun, stays at home watch TV, be very rich and lastly to have someone who don’t just love her but who love her like she is the most important in this world probably an actress. And fortunately she has David her boyfriend a nice calm, composed fellow loving her like a maniac but a boring accountant and too much workaholic. So the Rome trip they are planning for last two years is delayed despite purchasing the tickets as surprise for David because of his work. The problem starts when Georgie meets her old boyfriend Mike, a heartthrob of girls, spoilt and living parasite. But still he is most noticed guy. Mike is now having a car, flourishing business and most important he is interested in Georgie again after dumping her two years back by just leaving a note in the kitchen. David is dam against this guy and asked her to not to have a talk with him. But who the hell is telling her the reason? No one. Mike invites her to a trip to Rome. Her dream and she accepts without telling David. But David is in Rome for office work despite him was headed for Geneva. How the hell it happened??? Now they are back and David doesn’t know anything about her visit to Rome with Mike. Although she was with David all the time at visit and avoided Mike because David is now capturing her thoughts like anything. But after returning Mike wants a favor from old friend. The favor involves David and she is certain if she don’t help David is in trouble. But Mike bluffed her and he is the culprit who is guilty. Suddenly David didn’t turn out to be jsut an accountant but a high profile investigator not James Bond but at least this important that Georgie's life was in constant danger. The problem is David never shared this and Georgie never knew this. But because of her david is in deep trouble. So Gerogie and her mom stake their lives to get the ends meet again. She is successful to save David and Mike is arrested. The ending is happy but wait there is more to it. They have to redefine the relationship. So what are you waiting for go n grab a copy. I suggest all can read perhaps girls as they know all this, especially guys because they don’t know girls. Happy reading.

Well Ela it seems to be interesting story. But frankly speaking I cant even dare to think about getting insight into girl's psyche. They are simply too much. But yes the plot seems to be interesting and above all light hearted reading. I m already sick or reading management books and heavy readings. I will go for it. But can you lend the copy to me for few days???

well ela that is the worst attempt of spoiling the plot i have ever seen, and that too of novel with the suspense.

Hi, probably u r right. The plot is very much disclosed. But still one question, do u know how Georgie feels . Why the hell she did that. What she was thinking when she met Mike. Hmmm. This is what u have to read the book for. DNt tell me u have not seen this plot any where. U must have seen it in thousand of movies and dear who said this is a suspense novel.:) I suggest better read it, then say did I actually revealed u wat the book is all about. Happy reading and your critic are always welcome.

Hi
I have read the book and completely agree with Ela. Beleive me this book is not about any suspense plot. You will be disappointed if you are looking for it. This book is about relationships. So enjoy those and dont think you know all about the book. You will be surprised after reading the book.
