Dreaming in Black and White A Phoebe Grant Novel
Author: Laura Jensen Walker
Not your typical size two chick-lit heroine, Phoebe Grant aspires to the madcap life of a forties-style career gal-she lives in a cool apartment (even if it does need a little work), works at the city newspaper (ok, she writes obits-but she's sure she'll get her dream job reviewing movies), and has a best girlfriend (that would be Lindsey) to pl...  more »

Laugh out loud funny. I loved it.
She's smart. She's savvy. She's...well, she's working on the thighs. And with God as her witness, she'll never let that man spoil her happy ending!

Phoebe Grant is everyone's favorite movie geek - unbeatable at trivia, convenced that ll the world's a movie screen. She can organize a four-hankie chick-flickathon with a wave of her tall, nonfat, double mocha. And she's a shoo-in for the job of her derams - movie reviewer for the newspaper where she works.
Enter Alex Spencer - not only gorgeous but also a film buff, perfectly cast for a celluloid kiss and a fade to sunset. Unfortunately, Alex is the villian who sends Phoebe packing to the last place on earth she wants to be - back home to boring little Barley, California.
But wait. It couldn't be. Dar, handsome, and annoying Alex..in Barley?

Can Phoebe protect her hometown - and her heart - and prove It's a Wonderful Life? Or is she promising future truly Gond with the Wind?

Exactly what I was looking for - fun chick-lit with a positive message!

This book is on the predictable side, but it's so much fun getting to the ending that you barely notice. The movie trivia is great, the characters are memorable, realistic and funny and the Christian themes aren't too preachy. I really enjoyed it!

It was a really cute book. It didn't absolutely blow me away but I enjoyed it and I'd recommend it for a light, fun read. It's clean and cute.

I was not overly impressed with Pheobe or this book. I didn't find her likeable at all and in some places she came across like a shrew. The storyline was rather predictable. Overall it was a quick read for me and a good way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon in February.
