Book Review: For Internal Use Only by Cari Kamm

I received a copy of For Internal Use Only by Cari Kamm in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

Chloe Kassidy has just been accepted into one of Manhattan’s most exclusive art exhibits, Love Through Light. However, with her singular dedication to her career, she soon realizes that in sacrificing her personal life, she has never been in love. A hopeless romantic who is terrified of heartbreak, Chloe begins to enlist the help of her circle of friends to learn about love through their very different stories and experiences.

In Chloe’s emotional rollercoaster to having the greatest love story ever told, she’ll learn that like her photography she must use the negatives in life to develop and prove that she’s a strong woman who found her way to love through light.

Inspired by the notion that women grow up with ideas of true love and destiny, For Internal Use Only approaches those ideas with a decidedly twenty-first century viewpoint. A humorous love story with an edgy and dramatic twist, For Internal Use Only is a vastly entertaining novel that gives each of us a new fairy tale to look forward to: our own.

Review:

I have reviewed Fake Perfect Me from Cari Kamm and highly enjoyed that novel, so I was looking forward to reading For Internal Use Only. Again I thought there was a strong heroine that can have readers’ emotions all over the board, and it’s always a good thing to feel so much while reading a book. There is a complicated and almost dizzying relationship going on in Chloe’s life that I was constantly trying to figure out even while not reading. There is a lot of drama, questions, confusion, and heartbreak filling up the pages. I enjoyed Chloe’s supporting group of friends, especially in the end of the novel, and her passion for photography was quite interesting to read about. Sometimes I found myself a little lost here and there with the relationship and the oddity surrounding it, but overall I enjoyed this novel and will continue to look forward to reading her novels.

4 stars
