I thought I would share a new book what I’m reding this week. It’s a novel called Showmance by Chad Beguelin (Author). I received a copy of Showmance in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase, I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase. What are you reading?
After Noah’s Broadway musical is horribly panned, Noah races home to Illinois to be there for his ill father. Noah’s family and agent sign him up to put on the musical with the community theater in his small town after his failed Broadway show.
While licking his wounds while life continues to throw challenges his way. If you don’t recognize the author Chad Beguelin, he is known for having written the lyrics to The Wedding Singer and Elf the musical. Making the Author no stranger to the process that goes into a Broadway Musical and his writing is a testament to that.
I would like to remind you Showemance is a “GAY” romance. I don’t have problems with people who are Gay because they are humans just like you and I are. But some people might so I wanted to let you know about the couple in the book before you pick up the book to read.
I absolutely adored their festival celebrating hot air balloons. I didn’t get bored with his first relationship, but I believe the Author drug this story on two long for me. Other might think this story could see the book being turned into a movie of the week Here is a fun fact for you. I enjoyed the family element was intriguing, but the second relationship felt rushed at times.
About the book:
“Showmance is ready for the big time….Beguelin crafts a story you never want to end.” —Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants
A down-on-his-luck Broadway playwright is marooned in rural Illinois in this sharply funny queer rom-com
Noah Adams’s career as a playwright is circling the drain, thanks to a scorching review of his first Broadway musical. So when a family emergency sends him back to his Podunk hometown of Plainview, Illinois, he figures he’ll hide out for a bit. But to Noah’s horror, his agent has secretly arranged for him to stage an amateur version of the career-ruining musical at the local community theater.
As if trying to work with a bunch of artless amateurs wasn’t enough, Noah runs into Luke, the jerk from his high school years, everywhere he goes. Luke somehow grew up to be beloved by everyone in town…and undeniably gorgeous. As rehearsals begin, Noah is surprised by his cast’s insights, the warmth of the town he’d dismissed, and the reality of what happened with Luke all those years ago. Just how much has Noah misjudged?
