Owen Nicholls’ Love, Unscripted is an uplifting love story, following film projectionist, Nick as he tries to understand the difference between love on the silver screen and love in real life. Perfect for fans of David Nicholls, Nick Hornby and Laura Barnett.
For Nick, love should look like it does on the big screen. And when he meets Ellie on the
eve of the 2008 presidential election, it finally does.
For four blissful years, Nick loved Ellie
as much as he loved his job as a film projectionist in his local cinema. Life seemed picture perfect.But now it’s 2012, Ellie has moved out and Nick’s trying to figure out where it all
went wrong. With Ellie gone and his life falling part, Nick wonders if their romance could
ever be as perfect as the night they met.
Can love really be as it is in the movies?
Love Unscripted is a great read and I think it would make a great film. There are great characters who are realistic and loveable.
The story is littered with references to both film and music and I loved these excerpts as they were perfectly added seamlessly and all added to the magic of the story.
The storyline talks about the realities of love - life is not as it is portrayed on the big screen and Nick discovers this through his romance with Ellie.
I found that Nick was a great character, there were times when I felt for him in his struggles but also times when I wanted to give him a real good talking to as he strived to make things perfect as he had seen in on the big screen, when really he needs to listen to his heart and take a step back to re-evaluate the situation.
Love Unscripted is a great read and, as mentioned in the synopsis above, it is perfect for fans of David Nicholls and has some great similarities to Simon Curtis' films.
