Book Review: Twitter Girl, by Nic Tatano

Meet America’s Tweet-Heart.

She’s network reporter Cassidy Shea, better known as @TwitterGirl, with more than a million followers thanks to her sarcastic tweets. One hundred forty characters that can take anyone down a notch.
But while brevity may be the soul of wit, it can also get you fired.
When a controversial tweet goes viral the snarky redhead finds herself locked out of the career she loves… and watches her boyfriend take a hike.
Alas, no industry values sarcasm more than politics, and Cassidy becomes a marketable commodity for Presidential candidate Will Becker, a squeaky-clean, stone cold lock to be the next occupant of the White House. This candidate is unlike any other; he’s the country’s most eligible bachelor. He’s also looking for a running mate, and we’re not talking about a Vice President.
Twitter Girl has caught his eye.
Cassidy finds herself swept up in a whirlwind romance that turns her into the next Jackie Kennedy and becomes the favorite to be the next First Lady. The country can’t get enough of America’s First Couple… will Cassidy and Will Becker bring back Camelot?
But an anonymous tip triggers her journalistic curiosity. Is Will Becker all that he seems? The search for the answer teaches Cassidy the meaning of love.

You may have recently read my review for It Girl, by Nic Tatano, which was the first I’d read by him and I absolutely loved it; so Twitter Girl had some pretty big shoes to fill!

Luckily, this new, snarky redhead stepped into them with ease.

Book Review: It Girl, by Nic Tatano

Veronica Summer is stuck in the dream job from hell.

“The spunky New York reporter is offered the network’s morning anchor position, but she doesn’t want it because she’s a night person. Then the network plays a trump card, promising her the evening anchor chair in three years. So the fiery redhead takes the plunge, with the ultimate gig waiting down the road.

Problem is, that road is filled with two am wake-up calls and the only social life she has is one with bats and raccoons. She quickly realizes she’ll never survive the grind and decides the only way out is to get fired by being her snarky self on live television.

And the ratings skyrocket.

Veronica becomes the nation’s It Girl, so the network makes her a celebrity contestant on its most popular nighttime dance competition show, Dance Off. While her journalistic credibility is shot to hell by the show’s skimpy costumes, she’s thrown into close contact with two incredibly attractive men; her dance partner and the show’s sarcastic British judge.

And she soon discovers that love is the ultimate gig.”

I’d never read any Nic Tatano before, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect. However, a cover that beautiful is not to be ignored, so after a quick read of the synopsis – which successfully piqued my interest – the request button was hit. Let’s be honest, if I don’t know the book or author, the cover is gonna be the first thing I judge. And when it’s such a goddamn beautiful piece, it deserves to be appreciated – then I just had to hope the story was just as good.

Book Review: Pieces of You, by Ella Harper

‘The perfect marriage.
A devastating secret.
An impossible choice…

I would like to start by thanking HarperCollins UK for approving for me for a review copy on Net Galley.

Now, I am actually not going to divulge much of the story line, even the blurb, as I actually recommend reading the book without knowing the blurb. It is entirely up to you, of course, but a critical event in the book is revealed, which I felt would have had greater effect if I didn’t know.

Here’s the bit you can know, as it’s there from the word go: Lucy was always sure of one thing – her future with husband and soulmate Luke. But after eight long, heartbreaking years trying to have a baby, that future is crumbling before her eyes.
