Mormon housewife Becky Jack is seven months pregnant with her fourth child when she meets celebrity hearththrob Felix Callahan. Twelve hours, one elevator ride, and one alcohol-free dinner later, something has happened…though nothing has happened. It isn’t sexual. It isn’t even quite love. But a month later Felix shows up in Salt Lake City to visit and before they know what’s hit them, Felix and Becky are best friends. Really. Becky’s husband is pretty cool about it. Her children roll their eyes. Her neighbors gossip endlessly. But Felix and Becky have something special…something unusual, something completely impossible to sustain. Or is it? A magical story, The Actor and the Housewife explores what could happen when your not-so-secret celebrity crush walks right into real life and changes everything.

Merry Christmas! Frohe Weihnachten!

I (Mimi) LOVE books by Shannon Hale. Thank you Releanna for this book. I've already started reading it!

Mimi (denglish) and I both read the book now. Mimi may have enjoyed it just a little more than I did, but still, wonderful story!

Taking it back on our shelf. Might right one more time. :)
