Book Cover: Envy by Coleen Nolan
Coleen Nolan is the latest celebrity to turn her hand to writing fiction although I truly have no idea if this will be ghost-written (more over - do I really care?). It will be titled Envy (it was going to be Revenge, but Sharon Osbourne’s book of the same name comes out a few months before) and is due for release on 4th June 2010 . The book cover looks alarmingly similar to Sharon Osbourne’s cover, don’t you think? Here’s the synopsis, which sounds, if I’m honest, a lot like most celebrity plots:
Television favourite Karen King loves three things: her job as presenter on a late night talk show, her gorgeous husband Jason, and her Spanx pants, guaranteed to give the plumpest woman a waistline. She’s happy, but fate is about to turn her ordered world upside down.
Surprise number one is finding Jason in bed with a young blonde. Karen’s barely over the shock when she’s hotly tipped to take over primetime’s highest-rating chat show. She wants the job - but so do some of the biggest divas in showbiz, not least the icy Julia Hill who will do absolutely anything to sabotage Karen. As the biggest catfight in town kicks off can Karen sort out her life and win television’s greatest prize?

I hadn’t seen the Sharon Osborne cover, but this one’s much nicer (while still being similar). Makes Sharon’s look cheap and nasty. No interest in reading either of them though.

I’m so sick of so-called “celebrities” getting book deals. Look how slated Penny Smith’s attempt at a book was (I haven’t read it, mainly because it had so many bad reviews) - no chance she would have got a deal if she wasn’t famous. When I think about the people I read online who haven’t been able to get book deals based on their (quite considerable) talent it makes me annoyed. But such is life I suppose…

Im just over half way through it and i must say its miles better than i expected it to be i got it 2 nights ago and i haven’t been able to put it down since!! Yes, there is some resemblance to Coleen herself and loose women, but theres so much going on in the book you forget about all that and in my personal opinion its just as good (if not better) than a jackie collins book i really hope there’s a sequel coming! and if there is i’ll definitely be buying it!!
