Chloe Kassidy has just been accepted into one of Manhattan’s most exclusive art exhibits, Love Through Light. However, with her singular dedication to her career, she soon realizes that in sacrificing her personal life, she has never been in love. A hopeless romantic who is terrified of heartbreak, Chloe begins to enlist the help of her circle of friends to learn about love through their very different stories and experiences.
In Chloe’s emotional rollercoaster to having the greatest love story ever told, she’ll learn that like her photography she must use the negatives in life to develop and prove that she’s a strong woman who found her way to love through light.
Inspired by the notion that women grow up with ideas of true love and destiny, For Internal Use Only approaches those ideas with a decidedly twenty-first century viewpoint. A humorous love story with an edgy and dramatic twist, For Internal Use Only is a vastly entertaining novel that gives each of us a new fairy tale to look forward to: our own.

I rated For Internal Use Only two and one half leaves. I wanted to love this book; I really did. The synopsis sounded so intriguing; however, the storyline was slow and repetitive, and it was hard for me to connect with the characters for the most part. Granted, I
one-hundred percent understood Chloe’s viewpoint on the subject of
love. She loves the idea of love, but she is too afraid to take the risk
for herself, making her guarded and contributing to her OCD-ness. I loved that she had a tight-knit circle of friends, but she completely shut them out once her “relationship” with Christoph starts developing.
Let’s talk about Christoph. At first, his words made me “aww,” but as the book went on he started to annoy me.
He never owned up to anything or reacted right. Then, there’s the small
detail that he and Chloe haven’t met yet and spend the majority of the
book trying to arrange their first meeting. That is, when they’re not fighting of course. Also, their whole “relationship” derives from texts and phone calls.
