Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Guys Are Props Club (G.A.P., #1) in Books

Jan 7, 2021

I really enjoyed this.

I loved Sebastian from that first peek we had as he entered the G.A.P. meeting instead of the dance class next door. I also love a man who can dance, and let me tell you, he can dance! He was very sweet with Maddie and I liked how he went about wooing her, despite her protests after her friend Jessica had already picked him out to "play"

As for Jessica, Maddie's room-mate and friend, I wasn't a fan. Maybe she was blind to the fact Sebastian didn't want her or maybe she was in denial because everyone normally does wants her. Either way, I didn't like how she went about doing things and she came across as a right b*tch by the end.

Hunter was a firm favourite of mine and I wish he got a bit more book time or at least a happy ending, because he was such a sweet kid.

I recommend this to fans of New Adult, it has a different plot to most and like I said, I really enjoyed it.

The other Holmes sibling

Sherlock Holmes?

Yep, I'd heard of him.

Mycroft Holmes?

Less well-known, but again: yes. Mainly because of the recent(ish) TV series Sherlock, and the Robert Downey Jr starring films.

Enola Holmes?

I'm afraid to say: nope, never heard of her.

I actually thought at first she was a completely new creation for this Netflix movie, until a little bit of research showed me that she is actually the main character in a series of young adult mystery novels, by American author Nancy Springer (sorry, Nancy: can't say I know who you are either.)

Starring 'Stranger Things' actor Milly Bobby Brown as Enola, I wasn't keen on the talking-straight-to-the-viewer aspects of the movie, which never really held my attention all that much.

I have to say, though, it does contain some considerable 'star power', including the likes of Helena Bonham Carter as the Holmes matriarch (whose disappearance triggers the whole thing) and Henry Cavill - Superman himself! - as a very different take on the middle of the Holms siblings, Sherlock himself
