ALL great books!

If We Were a Movie is a romantic comedy that is actually told from the main male characters POV, Nate. While I did enjoy this difference I did miss getting more background of the lead female Jordan. I think I like it better when the POV changes back and forth between the two. One of the main aspects of this book is that each chapter coincides with a movie. I am also a huge movie goer so this was a fun added bonus. I did feel that it somewhat restricted the story a little though. I wasn't able to fall in love with or really connect with either Jordan or Nate for some reason.

Even though there are a few things that I didn't really like about If We Were A Movie it is still most definitely worth the read! It is fun and will make you laugh out loud at some points and bring tears to your eyes at other times in typical Kelly Oram style. My favorite parts of the book is when she references characters from her other books. It connects them and makes it all part of the same world. ( )

If We Were A Movie is the story of a young woman, Jordan, and a young man, Nate, who have the fortune to both meet Pearl. Now Pearl is not an ordinary person, you know that if you have been following the matchmaker series, she is ageless and has the insight to find the right person for everyone she takes under her wing, she seems to be able to mountains if she wants.
Nate has been in a long-term relationship and was trying to break it off by going to NYU, and low and behold his high school girl friend, ends up in NY also. His triplet brothers, yes life for Nate is very interesting, don’t like this girl, and try different ways to pull Nate out and have him meet other women.
When life gets unbearable living in a small dorm room with his brothers, yes three to a two-man room, and the report he has been working on is destroyed, he leaves. Now with Pearl in charge, he doesn’t move in with high school girl, no, he moves in with Jordan, whom we learn has a history of choosing losers.
Now Nate is music major and his life revolves around songs, and Jordan has built her life on movies, so everything they do or think is a reminiscence of either a song or a movie.
When Thanksgiving comes around and Nate goes home to be with his family, Jordan ends up driving him to Syracuse in her Ferrari, take about envious brothers! But said x-girlfriend is also home, in Syracuse, and what she reveals could wreck everyone’s life.
This is a quick and interesting read, we attend college in NY and we travel upstate, and we see where relationships can go to extreme. Wonder where Pearl is going next?
