Posted By Leah on June 23rd, 2010

Ashleigh Prince thinks she’s found her Mr Right in Michael so when he dumps her, it comes completely out of left field. Particularly since he dumps her via Facebook. Ashleigh takes the break up incredibly hard and instead of just getting over her heartbreak gracefully and leaving him alone, she instead turns into Michael’s worst nightmare.

When begging and pleading fails to win Michael back, Ashleigh decides, after a lot of Googling, that a grand gesture is in order. As Ashleigh’s bid to win Michael back builds more and more, even involving a psychic cat, is Ashleigh in danger of not only being single but also losing both her sanity and dignity, too?

Book Cover: Inheritance by Tara Palmer-Tomkinson

I made a post a while back featuring the synopsis for Tara Palmer-Tomkinson’s debut fiction book Inheritance which is due out on October 1st 2010. We now have the cover which I have to admit, is quite nice. I probably won’t read the book, though, because I’m not a fan of celebrity reads! Here’s the synopsis:

Notorious party-loving ‘It Girl’ Lyric Charlton has it all – the lineage, the looks and the lifestyle. A moneyed upbringing at the heart of one of the upper class’s most well-connected families, a finishing school education and an address book bursting with the world’s most powerful and high-profile people has crowned her the glamorous poster girl for the aristocratic glitterati. But when her doomed relationship with suave boy-about-town Ralph Conway means she takes the good times too far, she is packed off to rehab by her worried parents, and the public shame and private humiliation that follow means Lyric’s only option seems to be to retreat into sober obscurity. But what no one can predict is the dramatic chain of events her exile sets in motion. For Lyric’s treatment is the start of much more than a life as an ex-addict. It’s the catalyst that exposes a complex web of deceit and betrayal – and leads Lyric on an increasingly dangerous quest to find the final missing piece of the jigsaw of her life…
