Review:
I am a fan of Tammara Webber's books and follow her on twitter. A few years ago she recommended Love Show, so I added it to my TBR list and purchased the ebook. It sat on my nook for quite a while, but it finally made it to the top of my TBR list when I finished the book I was currently reading at my son's swim meet.
Hadley is finishing up her senior year of college and wants to become a war correspondent. She is fluent in arabic and is ready to jump into the action. She refuses to listen to her family and friends about how dangerous her decision may be. Her job choice also puts a strain on her unconventional relationship with Jack. From the very beginning she created all sorts of rules for their relationship, which were supposed to protect her from the one thing she fears the most....falling in love. Her mother has been married and divorced more times than you can count and she is determined to put herself ahead of any relationship, but she may throw away the one thing that has ever made her truly happy.
Another story line involves her openly gay roommate who is dating someone who "can't" come out of the closet. We get to see how that changes him emotionally as well as the hoops he has to go through in that type of situation. The relationship is not a healthy one, but he refuses to see how it is impacting him until it may be too late.
Love Show was an outstanding read. It is new adult, so there is definitely some adult content/romance throughout. I loved the characters, even though I found Hadley's decisions to be extremely frustrating at times. I wanted to shake her and make her see things more clearly. Until the last few chapters of the book it was like she had tunnel vision and would only allow herself to focus on her career and her job at the newspaper. She couldn't see what she was literally right in front of her face. The ending was satisfying, but it wasn't an easy road to get there.
