    About this audiobook

    Reid Alexander's life is an open book. His Hollywood celebrity means that everything he does plays out in the public eye. Every relationship, every error in judgment is analyzed by strangers. His latest mistake totaled his car, destroyed a house and landed him in the hospital. Now his PR team is working overtime to salvage his image. One thing is clear - this is one predicament he won't escape without paying for it.

    Dori Cantrell is a genuine humanitarian - the outward opposite of everything Reid is about. When his DUI plea bargain lands him under community service supervision, she proves unimpressed with his status and indifferent to his proximity, and he soon wants nothing more than to knock her off her pedestal and prove she's human.

    Counting the days until his month of service is over, Dori struggles to ignore his wicked magnetic pull while shocking him with her ability to see past his celebrity and challenge him to see his own wasted potential. But Dori has secrets of her own, safely locked away until one night turns her entire world upside down. Suddenly their only hope for connection and redemption hinges on one choice: whether or not to have faith in each other.

      Well, I appear to have reached the end of my Tammara Webber glom, because I appear to have read all her currently available books. I'll focus on GOOD FOR YOU in this review but readers who haven't read the first two books in the Between the Lines trilogy (Between the Lines and Where You Are) might find it a little spoilery.

      So, looking back, this is an odd little trilogy. The first two books are about Emma and Graham's romance, with Reid as a main POV character along for the ride. I was confused all along about Reid's prominence in #1 and #2 - I liked him a lot, I liked being in his head and I got to really like him as a person, too, but he was an antagonist for Emma Pierce's story and having an antagonist who got more page time than Graham, and was, frankly, a more fully fleshed out character than Graham, kept me off balanced and confused. I guess I'm so used to interpreting narrative techniques in a certain way (main male POV = romantic lead, for example) that I had a hard time just going with the flow.

      But the element that kept me off-balanced and confused with books #1 and #2 really paid off here, in #3 - because I went into it knowing Reid as a complex character who'd won me over despite his flaws. His attraction to Emma may have been predatory and shallow, but it laid some necessary groundwork for his interest in Dori - I already believed some part of him was desperate for a real connection with a girl he could respect. During the early part of the book Reid is still slutting about with John at the clubs, but the seed of change is already there and every interaction he has with Dori gives it a little more sunshine and water to grow.

      I found Dori a little harder to like than Reid. I know, that's strange - Dori is a modern day paragon, full of good works and kind words. She has a sharp, sarcastic side, too, and I did get to like her, but I thought she was careless of Reid's feelings way too late into the novel. This is actually a common enough subplot in stories with a famous/celebrity lead - the power disparity between the ordinary protag and the famous protag is so massive that the celebrity protagonist seems invulnerable. I find that pretty compelling, but the ordinary protag has to see through that for the story to work.

      This is quite spoilery, so be forewarned: There's a moment near the end, the sort of obligatory "breakup before the makeup" moment, where Dori dumps Reid to protect herself - because she doesn't want to get hurt, and people keep telling her that Reid is going to use and discard her. This is a valid fear on her part but she doesn't consider for one second that REID will be hurt, too. Which he is, totally devastated. At that point in the book, practically the end, for Dori to still be seeing him as the invulnerable celeb instead of a human being who'd be hurt by rejection just...lost me. Completely.

      So, look. If there were another Tammara Webber book for me to read, I'd buy it right now and get started. But for all my enthusiasm (and I gobbled these babies up, believe me) all three books in the Between the Lines series had one or two key flaws that left me feeling like Goldilocks demanding a new bowl of porridge...too hot, too cold, something just wasn't right.

      I'd suggest people who are new to the author start with EASY, which was thoroughly fantastic, and then move on to these if they're still hooked.

      I never thought I would grow to like Reid, but there you go. In this book, I really saw him as a human being with faults, which I didn't feel he was in the last few books.

      Dori was absolute perfection. I love her.
      This book was so much better than the second.
    • 5/5
      Sometimes I read a book and it's mostly 4 stars all the way through, but it has a superb ending that bumps it up to a 5 star rating. Good For You was 5 stars from the first word to the last. In fact, I'd give it 10 stars if they'd let me. I flat out loved it!

      I fell for Reid in the first book of this series (Between the Lines) and have been aching for his redemption, his love story and wow, did Webber deliver! Reid Alexander is sarcastic, snarky, charming, gorgeous and shameless, but he's also broken inside, running from the pain at home he doesn't know how to fix. Dori seems like she has it all together, but she's running, too. It's simply beautiful the way these two, who are from completely different social circles, find what they need in each other.

      This is one I'll re-read and there are very few books in that category for me.

      Love!

      Love!

      Love!

      This is by far my favorite of the series. I think because both characters change and grow so much over the course of the novel.

      I didn't expect to like Reid. Or, .ore accurately, I didn't expect him to win my trust. I admit he did, though. I believed in him by the end of the book, which is a pretty major feat considering my feeling about him in the beginning.

      At first Dori seems almost too-perfect. I expected her to be a Mary Sue. What saved her was how self-aware and honest she was. She didn't shy away from her faults or try to cover them up, she confronted them head on and dealt with them.

      This isn't a perfect read - I often found myself irritated or ambivalent - but in the end I enjoyed it.
    • 4/5
      I admit that I was wary going into this one. Say what you want about Reid, but he was NOT a very nice guy in the previous two books in this series. He's spoiled, he drinks to much, he sleeps around a LOT, treats women pretty crappy, and manipulates to try to get what he wants.

      So when I heard book 3 was totally about him, I was cautious, but I had heard good things, so I forged ahead. And I am SO glad I did! Reid really redeemed himself a lot in this one. We knew all along that Reid was just a product of his environment, he was raised allowed to do whatever he wanted, he has money, so how he turned out wasn't so surprising. But having Dori, a pastor's daughter, a real "save the world" type, be the one to bring the hidden depths of Reid to life was a delightful surprise. I loved watching Reid really fall for someone- not just want to get them into bed. Even with Emma, he just wanted her. He liked her, but never enough to want to be a better man. Dori brought that out in him, and it was a wonderful sight to see.

      And so now, I've gone from being wary about a book about Reid to wanting ANOTHER book about Reid and Dori, to see how they make their two very different worlds mesh into a great relationship. We all know it can't be totally smooth sailing from here, and I'd love to see the bumps on the road, and how they overcome them.
