spent a lifetime surrounded by art and animation. Graduating from Art
Center College of Design with a BFA in photography, Ruth opened her

writing stories inspired by the colorful people and events in her
life. Over two million hits, and thousands of reviews later, Ruth is
publishing her first novel, Animate

Angeles and is heavily supervised by her teenage daughter, lovingly
referred to as Snarky, who plans the summer around their yearly

(* I was given a ARC by AToMR tours for a review. I'm not a paid reviewer & these thought are my own.*)
{I shall start by stealing part of my review from goodreads..since it was a good opening :) }
Oh Animate Me! Sweet, Hot and down right melt my heart. I really ENJOYED Animate Me!
Animate Me was an awesome read. I have a lot to relate to with this book...not that I am say I'm a hot executive who has guys lusting after her..for me that is not what I mean when I say I relate to this book. I actually have a HOT nerdy husband (My husband doesn't wear geeky clothes or thick glasses. he just is into a lot of nerdy things) who does/says similar things like the main character Nathan does/say. So through out the story I was getting a good laugh because Ruth hit it spot on with how more nerdy guys act. ( well HOT nerdy guys at least :P)
Nathan is this (hot) nerdy artist who works at an animation company. His Dream girl happens to work there too. She happens to be one of his bosses. That isn't the biggest problem he faces when it come to winning the heart of his B-girl. She so happens to be dating another guy and this guy happens to run the company..(oh no!)
When conversation start over a USB cord ( yeah great conversation starter:P ) a friendship is formed. As their friendship grows Nathan realize he needs to do more to win her heart. He starts to Woo her..He brings her coffee every day with cute little drawings( so cute right?). Their friendship grows into something more, Love (*sigh*) and then something happens to test their love.
This story is told in Nathan's POV. I usually am not a fan of reading guy POV first because I feel I relate more to the girls story but that certainly was not the case with this one. I actually enjoyed reading in Nathan's POV and I love seeing the way he loved his B-girl 'Brooke'. He was sweet, charming, and funny. He did everything he could to Woo her. Okay so one my absolute favorite thing was the drawing inserts that that at the beginning of a few chapters. It was nice to having the visual aids. Remember the little drawing on Brooke's coffee cups? The drawing that they have inserted into the story are some of the pictures Nathan drew on the cup ( smart I Idea huh?)
All in all I really enjoyed Animate Me. Plus there is some steamy scene that are an added bonus! I would recommend this book to ANY Adult who loves a good romance, drama, and steamy love scene,caught on camera.. Yeah don't ask you need to read it!! If you have the chance read Animate Me by Ruth Clampett you won't regret it!!
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE LINE:
marry me Booke we can honeymoon at Comic Con...
( This was taken from one of Nathan's many self motivated talks..hehe but it makes me laugh pretty hard!!)
