ARC Review of The Monday Girl by Julie Johnson


The Monday Girl




 This is one story that has several levels of angst, and of heartbreak. You can see the pain coming like a train wreck, you want to stop it but you can’t . In this story, Kat Firestone is an actress that has blended into the background pretty much all her life . Made to take a path she didn't want, tormented by her failures , she never expected to land a dream role in an acting role  that would take her to Hawaii, starring next to the Sexiest Man Alive Grayson Dunn. Kat thinks she doesn’t deserve this role but she has good friends that keep her grounded and tell her she earned this role and are there to lift her up –my favorite of her friends is  Harper. She is such a great friend and I loved her . She is one of those supporting characters that really shines thru.
This story makes you think. There is angst, there is pain, there is love and there is darkness. Oh there are ups and downs, twists and turns. When the author writes about archetypes and stereotypes, I wasn’t sure what she meant but as the story progressed, it became clear. I began to see what the author meant. See, you should know who the villains are, who the hero/heroine are and in this book, everything wasn’t so clear cut. But by the end of the book, everything was clearer. This book will show the darkness in a person at the same time having us root for the light to shine thru and win. Grayson is someone you feel for , you want to root for but at the same time want to smack up side the head multiple times. He and Kat have this chemistry but  Grayson only sees Kat as someone temporary , not permeant and he doesn’t do relationships then we have  Wyatt Hastings- he and Kat instantly connect as well. Wyatt is always there to lift Kat up and keep her choosing the sunshine. The ending was one huge cliffhanger and boy I cant wait for book 2 but it wont be out until Feb 2017. Julie Johnson really outdid herself with The Monday Girl. Kat and her issues , and her men. Who will she end up with and what will happen after the epic cliffhanger? I cant believe we have to wait until Feb 2017.
