How Tall Are You?
What do you think of that cover? Do you like it? Does it not scream Christmas contemporary romantic comedy?
I hope so. That was my goal in making it. 
At six feet tall, Abby Knotts is used to comments about her height and questions about her athletics, but her love has always been the piano. With her new teaching job at The Piano Co, she eagerly takes on students—including a handsome adult student: a tech CEO named Thomas.
Thomas Johnston is in love with Juliet, his long-time college crush (and current marketing director), but can’t seem to catch her return interest. After learning about her fondness for musicians, he decides to learn the piano to perform at the work Christmas party. With Abby as his teacher, however, he quickly realizes another area where she could teach him: the art of flirting. Abby agrees to teach him how to flirt, and Thomas finds he’s a quick learner…as long as he can remember that Juliet’s the reason he’s learning piano and flirting, not Abby.
Real Life InspirationSince I personally know the author, I can verify that the author is writing what she knows with Yes, I’m Tall. Mrs. Aimee also six feet tall. And a piano teacher. And a natural flirt. And she decorated for Christmas in October.
She also based other main characters on real-life people (Thomas is based on her husband, and Abby’s friends are based on Mrs. Aimee’s university roommates).
Even though her other two published books are “romantasies,” contemporary romance is her favorite genre to read, so this book is (again) writing what she knows.
As a Christmas romance, you can bet there’s a non-denominational reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, but the story’s more about the music and festivities than religion. (Like a classic Hallmark film.)
Along those lines, there’s no foul language, no sexual content, and no violence. The most “sexual” comment is Thomas noticing sexy heels and a co-worker remarking how they’d have “tall babies.” (Again, like a classic Hallmark film.)
Disclaimers…To whom it may concern: Yes, I’m Tall is written in present tense like this blog post and many other slice-of-life romances. Present tense can be tricky, but Mrs. Aimee does it well.
Disclaimer #1: I had a large influence in the making of this book. I was an alpha reader, the formatter, and the cover artist. That said, I wouldn’t accept those positions (or to claim my part) for a trash book.
Disclaimer #2: this author is one of my best friends. In fact, this author and I are such good friends, that Yes, I’m Tall includes a character (Rose) based on me. As such, I’ll admit this is one of my most biased reviews.
Even still, I try my best to look with an outsider’s perspective, and to someone who loves contemporary non-denominational Christian romantic comedies, I think they’ll be more than pleased with Yes, I’m Tall.
