Turning his back on his reckless lifestyle, former frat boy Clay Walsh has settled down to turn an antique shop in a small Midwestern college town….and to purse lofty and outdated theories on love and romance. But when Amber Hewson, a free-spirited woman with a gypsy soul, rents the apartment above his shop, Clay can’t help being attracted to her spontaneous and passionate embrace of life. Amber also finds herself surprisingly drawn to Clay, but his ideas about relationships are unusual to say the least, and they bring to light her own deep wounds and fears about love. They say opposites attract, but can Clay and Amber move beyond their differences and their pasts to attempt an “old fashioned” courtship?

You may remember that I reviewed Old Fashioned on DVD a few weeks ago. Old Fashioned a Novelization by Rene Gutteridge is the novelization of that motion picture.  Clay has a bit of a wild history from when he was a frat boy. He’s turned his life around and settled down to run a small antique shop. He has turned away from traditional ideas of what dating is to hold onto what everyone else in town thinks is an old fashioned view.

Amber arrives in town on a journey going from place to place until she runs out of gas. She has no interest in settling down and typically leaves each town as soon as there are problems or she starts to feel like she should stay.  She meets Clay when she rents an apartment from him and at first thinks his old fashioned views are odd. Eventually, she begins to be drawn to him and his views because they are so different from hers. The two begin to get to know each other and try to see if they can work out their differences to begin an old fashioned courtship.

I generally avoid reading books that I have watched as movies because they are so different. In this case, the author did an amazing job of sticking to the story presented in the movie. If you’re looking for a realistic Christian romance, I definitely recommend Old Fashioned a Novelization by Rene Gutteridge.
