Review: The Other Story by Tatiana De Rosnay

Author: Tatiana De Rosnay
Genre:  Suspense/ Fiction
Pages:  307
Published: 2014

This book is by the author of Sarah’s Key.  

After the runaway success of his first novel, Nicholas Duhamel retreats to a luxurious Italian resort in an effort to finally start his second novel. He’s astounded that his publisher purchased the rights to his second book sight-unseen, but she assures him that that’s the norm for such an in-demand author. With the contract signed, and the advance paid out, all that’s left is for Nicholas to get some real writing done. Unfortunately, the words don’t seem to flow as easily this time around. Alternately enamored with and suffocated by his newfound fame, Nicholas has to come to terms with his identity as a famous author.  

There is some strong sexual  language in the book involving sexting.

Most reviews of the book said it was disappointing. I had to finish to see if Nicholas would redeem himself and find the inspiration for his next novel.
