Review of Unscripted by Davis Bunn

About the Book ~

Line producer Danny Byrd is well known in Hollywood for being someone who gets things done on time and under budget. But when his reputation takes a beating after his partner -- and former best friend -- makes off with their investors' money, Danny has but one chance to redeem himself and restore his ruined career.

LA layer Megan Pierce has sacrificed years of her life proving herself to impossible bosses, only to find herself disgusted at their snobbery and their specious business practices. When an opportunity to actually make a difference comes her way, she knows she has to grab it -- even though she's not entire clear what "it" is.

Danny and Megan are each other's best hope for redemption. What they never could have imagined was that they might also be each other's best hope for love.

My Thoughts ~

Unscripted by Davis Bunn infuses readers with layers of powerful emotions! In fact, I dare you to read Unscripted and NOT feel the emotion! Seriously. I dare you.

Unscripted is one of those unique novels that portrays a story within a story. The story was different from what I expected -- but in a good way! I don't know how the author did it, but all of the characters tug on your heartstrings, and there's also a mystery surrounding Danny that had me trying to figure out what in the world was happening! The result is a beautifully complex story.

The author draws from his own experience in the film industry (and puts it into a fictional story for people like me, LOL!) in Unscripted, showing the behind-the-scenes process to creating and filming a story. Learning about all the different people, jobs, procedures, terms, and techniques involved in filming a movie was really cool! It was like experiencing a day on set!

The spiritual plot of Unscripted is very subtle, making it a wonderful story of redemption without being in-your-face. It's a gentle drawing. The message of letting go of the past -- mistakes, hurts, ambitions -- rings true for not only the main characters, Megan and Danny, but also in the story of the film that's being written throughout the book and in the personal lives of the actors and actresses. The author truly captures real and raw emotion in a breathtaking way with this!

Four Stars ~ Unscripted by Davis Bunn is a unique story with the makings of a classic! Unscripted is a standalone, but the author has many other titles in his backlist.
