20 PAST 4 ON MADISON AVENUE TV

To say there is anything more than that would be overstating it. In the end, this was a mostly enjoyable end to a fairly pleasant series.

There are no blush-worthy moments at all, as every single possible one has been sanitized out. For a romance, this story is also completely without heat or urgency, giving it a sterilized feeling. It's never clear why Audrey and Clarke started seeing each other as more than friends, other than we are told that it's so. Instead, there's a lot of telling, but not a lot of showing. We are never brought into their minds to fully understand their thoughts and feelings. Perhaps the reason this story never became more than superficial to me is that there's some distance between the reader and the characters. The reading experience felt pleasant throughout, without any uncomfortable or exciting moments. I kept waiting for something to happen that tugs at my heartstrings or makes my heart skip a beat, but nothing really did. The two main characters are fairly bland, and their personalities don't ever congeal into real three-dimensional people. But that sweetness comes across as a little superficial at times. It's light, fluffy, never too serious, and comes with its own happily ever after. This story is oh so charming and cotton-candy sweet, perhaps even more so than the other two books in this series. But as their charade continues, they begin to realize that the only ones they're fooling may be themselves. When meddling parents and gossipmongers go a step too far, they decide the best way to get back at them is to pretend they're engaged. They've loved each other since they were children, but strictly in a platonic way. Marriage on Madison Avenue focuses on best friends Audrey and Clarke. It made a hopeless, undeniable romantic’s (of course that’s me) day! So much special thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books to share this enjoyable, sweetest ARC COPY in exchange my honest review. So if you crave something soft, light to bring out your inner happiness, go and read this book! This is definitely a mood changer like somebody turned on the lights at your happy place located in your mind. Sometimes the human soul needs to read or watch something terrifying to bring out the adrenalin rush! And sometimes we need to take a break from the life and lie down on a comfy couch and read or watch something sweet, heart-felting and relaxing to lighten our mood. This is sweet, foreseeable book had a little clichés but good kind of clichés we enjoy at all those rom-coms! There is last moment dramatic part as we expected but it also ended with one of the most romantic hero speech which warm my heart and made me sigh a couple of times. The parts they start to realize they were their person from the beginning and they spent their times to deny their feelings were so sweet moments of the book.

I loved their connection and hardly deniable attraction.

20 PAST 4 ON MADISON AVENUE TV

She was still reminded me of those drama queens on TV shows of course Audrey is not heartless, opportunist, self-obsessed young woman like it is characterized by Ryan Murphy shows (mostly played by Emma Roberts) her sweet, vulnerable sides mostly reminds us more Clueless character “Cher” than Channel characters from Scream Queens.Įven he seemed like down to earth, party boy and a real womanizer, Clarke was the mature, caring, affectionate man. But I loved her change, growing up, shaping her decisions about life. I was always doubtful to read about Audrey’s own story because I always found her a little pretentious, spoiled brat, Barbie doll, living in her fake social media world. Having hard time to connect with heroine: If I compare Audrey with the other book’s heroines, I absolutely say Naomi and Claire are far better and mature, well-developed characters for me. So let’s say 3.5 rounded up to 4 shiny, child-hood love, best friends to fake fiancées to lovers stars!!!

It’s swoony, funny, romantic, passionate, soft, sweet reading, kind of book well fitted with your cookie dough ice cream or chilled refreshing glass of Rose (all those Valentine day images made me change my drink selection)! Eat, pray to the publishers for ARC COPY and love every page of it! Glamorous spotlight of towering skyscrapers and notorious, entertaining, shiny, individual, fast, cruel, exhausting life of NYC plans intercepted with the third book Central Park Pact.
