Siding with Plato Book Review & $50 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

This Amazon Gift Card Giveaway is Sponsored by Michelle Manning

*******

We have a brilliantly funny book to share with you today.

Siding With Plato is a romantic laugh-out-loud chick lit novel about being young, beautiful, and a seriously hot mess!

Brooke Aarons can't get to college fast enough. Leaving behind her small town life, she intends to transform herself into a brilliant psychologist at the University of Texas, with no distractions to slow her down. But when she finds herself on a double date with the school's star football player - and worse, enjoying it - Brooke has to wonder if she's the one who needs her head examined. James Cartwright's easy life, endless bucks, and long line of willing girls should make him a non-starter for Brooke, but as she learns, the psychology behind a bad crush is a whole lot messier of a subject. Maybe Plato was right. Maybe love is a serious mental disease . . . If so there better be a cure before Brooke gets herself in too deep.

Look at what other readers have had to say

Siding with Plato is witty and exciting, you won't be able to put it down!

It took me right back to my Freshmen year of college and all the fun I had! I loved when Brooke and her friends would wake up and immediately try to locate each other to grab some breakfast and gossip/piece together the night before. It reminded me of my group of girlfriends, Those morning were my favorite part of college.

Siding With Plato is a fun, easy read for the summer! The characters are entertaining and witty - and I could easily relate to all of their hilarious interactions. I highly recommend grabbing your towel and heading out to the beach with Siding With Plato!

Miss Sarah, August 11, 2013 at 4:47 PM: I most definitely prefer "real" books NOT e-books. Your brain actually processes books differently (and gets more out of them) with an actual book rather than something on a screen, and I just LOVE BOOKS!! :)

Thanks for the giveaway!
wen budro, August 11, 2013 at 5:59 PM: I prefer paperbacks because reading is my break from electronics and technology.

smdrm, August 12, 2013 at 9:13 AM: I prefer paperbacks, just because I like to have an actual book in my hand. But since I'm a full-time RVer, I'll be getting an E-Reader since carrying a lot of books is not a good idea in an RV.
saving money, August 12, 2013 at 9:21 AM: hi i prefer paper backs, only cause it feels lighter when i am laying on my recliner and reading, thank you.
Ann Fantom, August 12, 2013 at 11:30 AM: I'm old school! I prefer to take paperbacks to the beach to read so I don't have worry about my Kindle getting damaged or stolen.

Stacy, August 16, 2013 at 3:41 PM: I prefer paperbacks because I just like the feel of books. Also, I would rather take a physical book with me to work to read on my lunch break rather than risk my Kindle getting stolen (although I read on my Kindle at home and when I travel).
kath g, August 16, 2013 at 7:39 PM: i like paperbacks because i can put them in my back pocket and not worry about breaking them and i like physically turning the pages and being able to see how much i've read and how much more until the end.
clc408, August 16, 2013 at 8:01 PM: I am totally for ebooks because I can put a whole library in my handbag and read anywhere.
Unknown, August 17, 2013 at 12:30 PM: I like reading actual hardcover, in my hand books, not anything on a e-reader. I don't have one anyway, but I'm just old fashioned I guess.
wigget, August 17, 2013 at 1:49 PM: I prefer paperbacks since my fingers slip on the e-reader causing me to lose my place

Audrey, August 21, 2013 at 9:12 PM: I like paperbacks because it is a bit easier on my eyes. Also, for some reason, I like turning pages!
smilekisses, August 23, 2013 at 1:33 AM: I like paperbacks because I like the covers and holding the book to turn pages.
Anonymous, August 23, 2013 at 10:13 AM: Paperbacks for several reasons. I like reading in the bath and I am afraid I will drop an ereader in the bathtub. Can't pass on a ebook to friend and family. Lastly, I love having a bookcase full of books as beautiful decor in my home.
richelle bowers, August 23, 2013 at 11:36 AM: i prefer paperbacks right now.....I don't own anything to read e-books

Anonymous, August 23, 2013 at 10:59 PM: I've grown to like ebooks best. I can read at work and I like that my ereader holds my place when I have to take a call. It is easier to pick up where I left off than a paperback.

brich2222, August 23, 2013 at 11:17 PM: I like e books as the readers can be loaded with lots of books!
Roxann, August 24, 2013 at 12:45 AM: I didn't think I would, but I prefer eBooks. My Kindle is easier for me to hold. I don't have to hold a bulky book and turn the pages. Also, I usually read a couple of books at a time so I can take them all with me right in my purse on my Kindle.
Anonymous, August 24, 2013 at 1:32 AM: I like to read paperbacks.
ErinT, August 24, 2013 at 7:16 AM: Definitely ebooks. I can carry thousands of them around with me on one little device.
guettel78, August 24, 2013 at 3:12 PM: I prefer e-books since they are ideal for traveling and portability -- and I like the options of changing the font size, lighting, and page orientation on a tablet!
