Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat If you want to join in grab your current read, flick to a random page, select two sentences (without spoilers) and share them in a blog post or in the comments of Books and a Beat.
I’m between books again at the moment so this week’s teaser is from Who’s That Girl by Mhairi McFarlane which I finished at the weekend. If you like chick lit I’d definitely recommend. It’s about a woman who somehow ends up at the center of a scandal at work and flees to her family home to hide. She’s tasked with ghost writing a biography for a famous actor while she’s there but the two don’t exactly hit it off at the start. It’s funny, it’s sad and it’s completely addictive reading.
My Teaser
The thing about her reputation, she finally accepted – it was like Elliot’s anonymity. She’d given it away and she was never getting it back.

Happy reading everyone.
It sounds really good! I’ll have to check it out because I haven’t heard of this novel before!

It’s definitely one of the better examples of chick lit.

It’s not normally a genre that is close to my heart – but with my tutor hat on, I’m always looking for strong examples of chick lit, as many of my students enjoy writing it… Thank you!
My TT this week is about an adventurous sneak thief… https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2016/04/12/teaser-tuesday-12th-april-2016/

I read pretty much every genre and needed a bit of a break from my usual YA SFF. I think I was getting overloaded and a bit sick of it. 🙂

Oh for sure! I resort to crime or literary when yet another speci fic just doesn’t do it more me:).

Great teaser, and so true — people often fail to guard their reputations.

With twitter, facebook and camera phones it’s all too easy to get caught in a compromising position and it’s out there forever. Scary thought.

It’s not a genre I read often, but this sounds interesting. That’s one thing I love about Teaser Tuesdays…I learn about books that I’d probably never pick up, but do and end up enjoying! Thanks for sharing. My teaser this week is from Vermilion by Molly Tanzer. http://abookaddictsview.blogspot.com/2016/04/teaser-tuesday_12.html
