Book Review: Weightless by Michele Gorman

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
Summary:
Sometimes looks can be deceiving

Annabel’s not surprised when nobody recognizes her at her 10 year reunion. The spotty fat teen nicknamed AnnaBall by the school bullies is long gone. But standing on the edge of the popular crowd, she still feels like that girl. That is, until Jack, her teen crush, starts flirting with her. Much to her amusement, he has mistaken her for Christy Blake, Annabel’s chief tormenter before she moved to France in their last year.

It’s just a bit of fun at first, letting Jack believe she’s Christy. After all, he was nuts about her before she said au revoir to England. And when he asks Annabel out, the fun becomes something even more interesting. The more they date the deeper they fall for each other. So what if Annabel has to fib a little to keep up the façade?

As the lies start compounding, and she realizes that they’re falling in love, she has to tell him who she really is. But she’ll lose the love of her life if she does.
Review:
I’m a big fan of Michele Gorman. I’m not a big fan of novellas. That being said, I think I enjoyed Weightless enough. It’s only about 40 pages, and maybe took me a half hour to read in one sitting. The story itself was cute, though sometimes I struggled to believe it, but if you let yourself just flow along with the characters you can try to put that factor out of your mind. Again, since it’s so short it’s tough for me to say I was really invested or hooked, because by the time I was really getting into Annabel’s story it was over. I do think Gorman did a good job building the characters and giving readers enough plot to get interested in. I liked that we got to know a client of Annabel’s and some back story on her time in college. For a novella, I think this is a good one, and I highly recommend Michele Gorman to chick lit readers. I just wish I liked short stories more!
