Piece of Pie submitted by brielle on June 21, 2012, 1:20pm In Shannon Hale’s The Actor and the Housewife, Becky Jack, a Mormon housewife from Utah, meats Felix Callahan, a chick flick heart throb, and the two become best friends. They stay friends through mutual misunderstandings and snuffs, and both help each other through life’s struggles.

I enjoyed this book. It was sweet and funny. I read it because it was by Shannon Hale, and I definitely wasn't disappointed, but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had kids. Or was married. Or in any way related to the heroine. It didn't have the ending that I wanted or was expecting, but it was probably more realistic for all of that. It was sad and adorable, but not my favorite of Hale’s books. IT ISN’T A FAIRY TALE STORY, so be aware of that. Um, I’m trying not to spoil, so I'll be done now...
