Loved the story and concept of it! I just wish it went at a slower pace. As I read as this book I thought this a real romance. This is real life!

*ARC Review*
Double-Decker Dreams was a cute, easy to read novel about an American finding love in London. Kat was looking for her english prince as she worked high up in her tower (or her apartment), and thought she found it in a suave stranger who rode the bus everyday. When she finally got up the courage to meet the stranger, she found it was just Rory, an American school teacher from the town over from her in Michigan. There started their journey of friendship to love, to mistrust, and back to love.
It was a sweet story, but often it felt a bit choppy. When I wanted to hear more about a plot point, we moved quickly into a different one. The book was a bit too fast paced and the story line didn't connect nicely to allow the reader to follow along seamlessly. I also found the portrayal of Jules's (the next door neighbor with a thick cockney accent) to be a bit of a caricature and borderline insensitive. I felt the reader would have been perfectly find understanding the cockney theme without spelling everything Jules said phonetically. The conversations about cockney slang were fun, but spelling each word Jules said differently while no other english character got that treatment was unsettling and distracting.
Easy read. If you like stories based in London its not a bad one to pick up.
