Book Review: Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett
Potential subtitles for this novel include: How to Make the Best of Bad Situations, or Movie Glam Girl Meets Sweet Surfer Boy. If that second titles sounds like an internet dating ad, it's not far off. "Mink" (East Coast) meets "Alex" (West Coast) in an online movie forum. Is it a crush? Is it simply classic film chit-chat?

Vintage clothes and a sweet Vespa, surfing legends and beach parties make this a delightful summer read.
