Loading... The Accidental Bestsellerby Wendy Wax
None. I enjoyed the "inside look" into the publishing industry. I also liked the friendships between the 4 women. I'm a sucker for this type of thing. The ending was very cute. This is a great good feel read. (  ) Tracey8824 | Apr 3, 2013 |  An entertaining audiobook that will appeal to readers who are fascinated by the lives of contemporary authors, their editors, and publishers. Actually anyone who is intrigued by relationships with secrets will find this engaging, if a bit predictable and over-long. (  ) sleahey | Mar 6, 2013 | This book was just not as good as the others that I have read by this author. I know fiction is fiction but the premise of this book made me nervous knowing that the authors would get caught plagiarizing and cheating their publishers… so alls well that ends well but it still left my behind. ( ) mchwest | Jan 14, 2013 | Am I the only person who didn't really like this book. It was like a watered down eighties women's fiction book by Jackie Collins, but without the sex, or the intrigue. Sure the thin veneer of fiction placed over RWA or Harlequin or editor Brenda Chin was sort of cute, but I couldn't muster up a care in the world for these characters. I wanted to yell, 'get over yourself,' time and again. Fortunately there's much weekend left for better stories. (  ) Sylvie.Fox | Jan 9, 2013 | The concept of this book pulled me in from the start – a book about authors writing a book about authors! As a reader who is also interested in the industry, the insight from inside was both fascinating and valuable: I don’t think I’ll ever romanticize the idea of becoming an author again after reading this fictionalized account of what it takes to become published. The four major characters in this novel feel like friends to the reader from early on. Mallory is that person that has everything so together you almost dislike her. Tanya feels like the polar opposite, the friend you know is struggling but is too proud to ever accept your help. Faye is the almost motherly friend you want to turn to when you need someone to cry with. And Kendall has such focused motivation, you want her around to help you find the good in yourself when you don’t believe in it. This makes it all the more difficult as things start imploding and the book they write together has consequences no one intended or ever imagined.
