About this ebook
At age 30, Iley Gilbert is thoroughly sick of trying to make it in the photo biz, and disenchanted after putting in stints at a Boston-area newspaper, a photography gallery, and even a pathetic frame shop. When she abruptly quits the frame shop, she's ready to give up for good, until she spots a compelling ad in the paper. A photographer who shoots high school prom photos is looking for an assistant. Not only that, He's willing to pay top dollar to someone who would give up Friday and Saturday nights to help take pre-prom pictures of high-school kids dressed in their finery and candid shots during the dance. William Jasper, Prom Photographer, is not the brand of aging, greasy wedding photographer she was expecting. Rather, He's 35, strikingly handsome, and sharp-witted. Iley is instantly attracted to him and gets the sense the feeling is mutual. But William isn't everything He's made himself out to be that is, he's not single. He's got a permanently out-of town wife-he doesn't need a girlfriend. But Iley has lost her way, and she-ll need her friends and her photos and a lot of bad proms before she can find her way back on track, away from the sleezeball, and into a life that-s a little more picture-perfect.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutley adored this book! It had the right elements of a book I love and the story was suprisingly fresh and different from other love stories I have read. I must admit I did buy this book because I feel in love with the cover, but once I read the book I was glad I had picked it. There is very little popular stories about photographers and I found it interesting that there was finally a good one. Although I did not like the affair between the the main character and her boss, those parts kept me interested in the story and kept me wondering what was to happen between the two.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As a general rule - I love a local book. I must have known that this book was set in the Boston area when I first got it but I had totally forgotten and was surprised and delighted when I first opened it to find all sorts of familiar places mentioned. For me - that turned out to be the best thing about it.I made it through the whole novel but it was kind of a slog. This is a novel that depends so much on the reader being invested in and sympathetic towards the main character Iley. I just didnt feel any fondness at all towards her. She had the mentality of a teenager through much of the book that just didn't jive with her actual age (30 something) and what we are given of her backstory.. I found her constant " look at me I'm so wicked alternative" commentary was tedious. I haven't heard someone prattle on about their crazy fluevogs since I was 15. Her character just didn't ring true to me. Withougt a powerful protagonist to propel the plot- I found the story lacking in the necessary drama it needed to engage me as a reader.
