I absolutely loved Talli Roland’s debut novel The Hating Game when I read it last year so I was obviously thrilled to bits to hear of a second novel! Watching Willow Watts is due out on 30th November 2011 and has had a cover change so it now matches The Hating Game (woohoo!). I think the cover is stunning and the pink will definitely stand out in bookshops (oh yes and look below the synopsis to see whose quote is on the cover!!!!). I absolutely can’t wait to read it because it sounds fab! Here’s the synopsis:

For Willow Watts, life has settled into a predictably dull routine: days behind the counter at her father’s antique shop and nights watching TV, as the pension-aged residents of Britain’s Ugliest Village bed down for yet another early night. But everything changes when a YouTube video of Willow’s epically embarrassing Marilyn Monroe impersonation gets millions of hits after a viewer spots Marilyn’s ghostly image in a frame. Instantly, Willow’s town is overrun with fans flocking to see the ‘new Marilyn’. Egged on by the villagers — whose shops and businesses are cashing in — Willow embraces her new identity, dying her hair platinum and ramming herself full of cakes to achieve Marilyn’s legendary curves. But when a former flame returns seeking the old Willow, Willow must decide: can she risk her stardom and her village’s newfound fortune on love, or is being Marilyn her ticket to happiness?
