It’s not all sunshine and roses threw out the story and when I say slow burn, it’s truly that. Now the difference between this book to many of the others with this familiar plot is that the characters seem more real (specially Madison). Without giving to much away and or any spoilers, let’s just say both find themselves in a predicament where they can help each other out. Working two jobs to make ends meet and living in a run down trailer park while raising a sick child. Then you have Sherry, a single mother with a young child who is just barely getting by.
She also has a chip on her shoulder and answers to nobody but herself. This one we start with Madison who is nothing but a trust fund baby who likes to party and go threw women as fast as her money. “Contract for Love” is like many other books about a fake relationship between two adults. Plot: Wow am I really glad I was given an opportunity to give it a listen. I also received this audiobook when codes were given away for an honest review. I also enjoyed the plot like with Cilla and the exploration of needing to move beyond a codependent relationship with one's mother.First off let me start with the fact that I’ve never read or listened to anything by Alison Grey. But I still enjoyed the listen and was glad for the way that the two were able to communicate with one another and express their feelings. I didn't feel this way all the way through, but coming out of the book I feel like I will miss the setting and people of the street more than I will the romantic leads. I found I was comparatively less attached to the two romantic leads, Jorgie and Marta. Their friendships felt realistic and genuine. I could happily read more about life on this street because of them. The supporting characters on the street of Leo, Elfin and Coral were all very distinct and I feel like I will miss them now the book is over. It was well-described and I find myself wanting to be in such a vibrant place, full of people and things going on. I really loved the world created on Gaylord Street.
