Book of Interest: Only Lovers in the Building

I always find it interesting when someone is good at giving advice yet can't seem to following it for themselves. Which is why I want to read Only Lovers in the Building by Nadine Gonzalez. According to the description, it follows Liliane and Benedicto who love romance books and are good at giving love advice yet can't figure out their own love lives. And if they do figure it out, will this romance be something long term or just a summer romance? I'm going to have to add this to my list because I would love to find out how this ends.

Book: Only Lovers in the Building by Nadine Gonzalez

Description:

Wanted—no, NEEDED: a summer escape with beach reads, cocktails…and a little romance on the side.

After her legal career comes to a sudden and humiliating end, Liliane Lyon books a restorative summer rental at The Icon, a quintessential Art Deco building in Miami Beach, where her only plan is to bask in the sun, read, and sip cocktails. But soon she’s enchanted by the colorful community, including university professor Benedicto Romero—resident tortured poet, whose sole intention for sabbatical is to indulge in brooding introspection.

When they discover a shared passion for romance novels, Lily and Ben are soon spending hours reading together by the pool, the spark between them unwittingly giving the other residents the impression that they’re experts in matters of the heart…no matter that IRL their disastrous love lives bear little resemblance to the stories they’re reading.

But while Ben and Lily can pinpoint a trope a mile away and give excellent advice to others, they can’t make sense of the sizzling chemistry between them, and the suggestion of a professional podcast suddenly forces them to consider the long-term. So what if it means working even closer together! So what if their banter makes Lily's head spin! It’s the summer of taking chances, but a word to the wise: Miami isn’t the place for growth and rebirth. It’s the place to get messy.
