Unscripted by Davis Bunn is a stand-alone, contemporary fiction novel. With smooth prose, authentic characters, and a compelling start, Unscripted entices the reader into the glamour and complexity of Hollywood.
The characters in Unscripted are perhaps its brightest star. Megan, one of the main characters, was strong, smart, and easy to admire. Her personality fit flawlessly with her profession and situation. Even the secondary characters perfectly suited their roles and enhanced the story in a meaningful way. Annie, Jennie, Myron, Louisa, and Lane, were just some of the likable secondary characters. Add to the characters, a mystery and a dash of romance, and you have a good book.
I recommend Unscripted by Davis Bunn to readers who enjoy contemporary fiction with strong characters and an interesting setting. There are subtle Christian values and brief mentions of Megan’s father’s faith, but it’s a light thread, not “preachy” at all.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.
Unscripted by David Bunn is a stand-alone novel. Danny Byrd’s career has been ruined by his best friend. Can LA lawyer, Megan Pierce, help Danny find redemption? When the opportunity arises to make a difference, together they’ll take the chance. This is a story of pain and healing, love and romance, hope and renewal. When I first started reading, I was afraid it was going to read as a manual on how to film a movie with a lot of technical jargon. I was greatly surprised! We were given a behind the scenes look at movie making but the story was so much more. There was a touch of intrigue, the romance was understated but the message of forgiveness and hope shouted out loud from the beginning to the ending. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. I loved it!
I received this book from LibraryThing for my honest review.
