Review: So, how many times have you sat in front of the television watching some late night talk show because your favorite actor or singer was going to be on the show and you just wanted to soak up any little personal tidbit they might share so that you could feel a little closer to them? Well, Words With Friends is the story of what happens when you know just enough to bring you as close to them as you could ever dream. After seeing her favorite actor, Edward Cullen, on one such show and learning of his affinity for the Words with Friends app on his phone, Bella decides she’s going to try her chance at luck and see if she can start a game with the man of her dreams. As luck, fate, and the intelligence of a future teacher would have it, Bella succeeds, and so begins her relationship with Edward.
Meanwhile, over in Words With Strangers, we get to meet movie star Edward, who’s on a long international promotional tour away from his family and most of his friends, and with the ex girlfriend who not only embarrassed him but made him leery of women in general. He’s not looking for a relationship, but he is open to communication with someone that allows him to just be real. When a mysterious Words with Friends invite pops up on his phone, he soon finds this with Bella.
Nolebucgrl tells the tale of how these two connect over words in a way that exudes fun, wit, humor, and warmth. Bella, who comes across as somewhat shy and hesitant to take chances, comes alive throughout these chapters. She’s feisty and sensual, yet she sometimes becomes adorably flustered and nervous. Edward comes across as a normal, laid back, and honest guy – who just so happens to have the ability to make you sigh and pant in equal amounts due to his words.
She’s done something that tends to be so rare in fanfiction: she makes you believe and love the connection between two characters that have never officially met!
Throw in a feisty yet nurturing Rosalie, an Alice who’s swooning over a guy on her Words With Friends who she’s convinced is Edward, an amusing yet protective duo of Kate and Garrett, and probably one of the most entertaining Emmett’s ever, and you have a full cast of characters that add hilarity and context to the individual lives of Edward and Bella.
And don’t be fooled; even though these two have yet to meet in person, their conversations are steamy and vivid enough that you feel like you are getting a lemon in almost every chapter. Also, the phone sex between them when they make it to that level of communication is a great preview of what’s to come ☺
I have the pleasure of being one of the pre-readers for this story and I can tell you personally that things have only begun to heat up. So please, do yourself a favor and go read these stories!
