Annie Valentine is back, and this time things are feeling a bit different for our favourite fictional fashionista! Annie thought her TV show “How Not To Shop” was going well, but when it’s suddenly dumped by the channel without warning, Annie feels like she is up the creek without a paddle. When her business partner Svetlana comes calling with a problem with the “Perfect Dress” business, Annie knows she has to do what she can to help out. However, she also knows this means that she has to leave her lovely husband Ed and twin babies at home while she jets across the world to New York City with teenage daughter Lana in tow.

Faking It was originally due to be released last year by Charlotte Kymberley but got delayed until 2011. It’s now due for release on 17th February and Charlotte Kymberley has become Lotte Daley. It sounds like a fab read and I’ve been looking forward to reading it since I heard about it. Here’s the synopsis:

It’s not you, it’s me That’s the cowardly text message that Katie receives from Jack, her actor boyfriend of three years, when he dumps her. And things go from bad to worse when photos of Jack canoodling with a famous size-zero actress are splashed across every gossip magazine and tabloid soon after. Just how much humiliation can a girl take? With the paparazzi camped out on her doorstep, Katie decides to preserve what’s left of her dignity. So she agrees to become her PR colleagues’ next project. They will make her over (hair, teeth, clothes, Botox, boobs – the works) and turn her into an instant celebrity in order to win back her ex and show the world that an ordinary girl can rival a beautiful bimbo. But will a new life in the limelight be everything Katie dreamt of? Can she make it in the cut-throat world of the beautiful, rich and famous? Is Jack worth all the hassle or is there someone else out there who might love Katie just the way she is?
