Ratings and reviews

Act Like It is a modern nod to theater. What I really enjoyed was getting to become familiar with the characters. Ms. Parker covered what drove them, the struggles they faced etc. Allowing the reader to develop a better understanding of the inner workings of the people. Act Like It is a glimpse at the struggles of making a high profile career and relationship work. It is in done in a clever, charming and pleasurable way that I forgot I was reading.

About the author

Lucy Parker lives in the gorgeous Central Otago region of New Zealand, where she feels lucky every day to look out at mountains, lakes and vineyards. She has a degree in Art History, loves museums and galleries, and doodles unrecognisable flowers when she has writer's block. Her interest in romantic fiction began with a pre-teen viewing of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Firth-style), which prompted her to read the book as well, and the rest was history.
