Groundswell
Katie Lee
Fiction
Katie Lee is the ex-wife of Billy
Joel and a semi-celebrity chef whose two cookbooks I bought (she has some
pretty good Southern recipes). The difference between her book and Bethenny
Frankel’s book is that her book is actually good.
Emma is a small-town Kentucky
girl looking for her big screenwriting break in NYC. One day, she stumbles upon
a PA job on a local movie set. It’s there that she meets Garrett, a big-time
movie star. Garrett hones in one her and soon they’re dating, then engaged. But
even though Emma’s in love, she’s not all that happy. When she discovers
Garrett’s been cheating on her, she leaves NYC for a small town in Mexico,
hoping to put her life back together. It’s there that she meets Ben, a local
surfer, who teaches her how to enjoy herself again.
So yeah. Another
semi-autobiographical novel written by a D-list star. Only this one’s a lot
better than Skinnydipping. Emma is a sympathetic character and you root for her
to succeed. Some of the other characters are quite cliché but Ms. Lee’s writing
saves that. It’s a quick read and definitely for the beach.
I would recommend Groundswell to
everyone.
