Book Review: Jenna & Jonah’s Fauxmance by Emily Franklin & Brendan Halpin

Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance by Brendan Halpin and Emily Franklin
Read from December 20-21, 2011
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fans of romance don't need to look any further than the fauxmance brewing between teen idols Charlie Tracker and Fielding Withers-known on their hit TV show as Jenna and Jonah, next-door neighbors flush with the excitement of first love. But it's their off-screen relationship that has helped cement their fame, as passionate fans follow their every PDA. They grace the covers of magazines week after week. Their fan club has chapters all over the country. The only problem is their off-screen romance is one big publicity stunt, and Charlie and Fielding can't stand to be in the same room. Still, it's a great gig, so even when the cameras stop rolling, the show must go on, and on, and on. . . . Until the pesky paparazzi blow their cover, and Charlie and Fielding must disappear to weather the media storm. It's not until they're far off the grid of the Hollywood circuit that they realize that there's more to each of them than shiny hair and a winning smile.


My Thoughts:


Jenna & Jonah are the characters Charlie & Fielding (real name: Aaron) portray. They are stars, famous Hollywood stars..and they’re a couple. Real couple on cam, fake off cam. It’s a light and fun read that will surely make you laugh out loud and make your heart tingle on the latter part of the story.

Something happened that made the both of them realize they really like each other. When they let their guards down and pride aside, they can be two serious people who not only live to make the other’s life miserable. I love their snide comments to each other and their banters. It’s so much fun. Plus the alternate narrating between Charlie and Aaron helps us to understand what really goes inside their heads. I have always loved reading from a guy’s perspective because it really is different from a girl’s, and the spontaneity and bluntness is just different.

This is a perfect read when you’re searching for a not-so-heavy read, plus the silly fights Charlie & Aaron have is just entertaining! :)
