The Accidental Bestseller Audiobook

" I really enjoyed this light read about four female authors who struggle with problems in their own lives and work together and support each other. I felt the friendships were sweet and while there was no big mystery to the plot, it held some surprises. The characters were interesting and i like the changing viewpoints . I thought the ending was clever, "supposing" it all ended happily while not commiting. "

" Bonus Book - December 2011 "

" Read one of her books that I liked so thought I would try another. Always in the market for a new (to me) author. I liked the book in that I felt it gave an insight into the world of publishing. But I thought the whole premise of the book was far-fetched and didn't ring true to me. Kendall, the author in trouble, was just a mess and I had trouble summoning up any respect for her. In real life someone might fall apart as she did but in fiction I would have liked her to have a little more backbone. In fact, I didn't really warm to any of the characters although it was an interesting take on a 'four friends' type book. "

" Highly recommend! This was a great book. I really enjoyed it. Very heart-warming and a bit of a tear-jerker. I held it together until the last couple of chapters, they got me! However, there are some things to note about the book. Towards the end, the pace changed - I felt it was a little rushed and some questions weren't really answered. I also felt there were some plot holes. "

" This is the story of 4 aspiring authors who meet at a writer's conference and become fast friends. When one has a personal and career crisis simultaneously, the others rally around her for support. It was interesting to get the behind the scenes look at what goes into writing a novel, especially when hard things are going on in the life of the author. This is also a story about the balance between friendship, work and home relationships. "

" I was put off by all the secrecy and misunderstandings. The one author had all the PR in place with a fake back story. Then there's the author married to a minister and he supposedly had no idea that she wrote romance books..... It's a book of fiction. But, the idea that all this secrecy and stuff was going on made the book unenjoyable for me. I wouldn't reccomend the book. "

" I enjoyed the look inside the writing life, in all of the Hollywood-esque non-glamour. The friendship between the characters was interesting, though I felt much of it lacked depth. It was a quick read - and while I saw much of the plot stuff coming, I enjoyed the brain candy. "

" Four women writers have been friends since they started in the business and at the time of the story have been friends for the last decade. They are really different - Faye is a televanalist's wife who writes inspirational fiction; Tanya is a single mother of two girls who writes romance novels, Mallory is a best-selling author and Kendall is married and the mother of two. The story revolves around Kendall who has just found out that her career is going down the toilet and her husband is leaving her. The other characters have secrets and problems in their lives as well, but they gather together to help Kendall write her novel. The story continues with their writing the novel in which the characters come a little to close to hitting home and how their lives and friendship evolves when everybody finds out that the book was written by all of them. Fun read and the best part was the insight into the publishing and bookwriting industry. Highly recommend. "

" I would give 3 1/2 stars. Started slow but got better about half way through. "

" This is the second book by this author I have read and enjoyed. Loved this book. Should be made into a movie. "

" Quick, easy read. Enjoyable story about four different women and the bond that holds them together even in tough times. "

" This was a very enjoyable book. It was much deeper than I expected. "

" I'm torn between 2 and 3 stars. It was a little slow at times, but it provided some good insight into the publishing world. "

" Good airplane read. I started it on the tarmac at JFK and finished it on the tarmac in San Diego. Quick read, kept my attention and made the plane ride pass quickly, but my life certainly isn't any different having read it! "

" I liked this book. It takes you inside an authors head and into the world of publishing Companies. I have a vested interest because I am also writing a book. For new soon to be authors like myself, this book was insightful! "

" Like The Devil Wears Prada for the publishing industry. Insider info topped with characters you'll care about. "

" Enjoyable read about 4 friends who are writers and struggling with their craft and life in general. "

" Read this for Krissi and I's Indy Book Club. It was okay. It seemed a little "dorky" for lack of a better word. The author refered to her friends constantly as her "peeps" which drove me insane. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. "

" An interesting inside look into the minds of fictional writers and the pressures they face. The author, a master storyteller, has given readers a book that makes one wonder how much truth lies beneath the fiction due to the authentic tone of the novel. "

" Started off slow...the second half was much better. "

" Really good. Very interesting about writing and "the industry". Halfway though, I couldn't put it down. Very fun story climax. Loved the ending, too. "

" Well-crafted characters, tied up a bit too neatly (especially the various legal aspects), but still fun. Took a little too long to get to conflict point. "

" great story, characters & plot!! a fab book you won't want to put down-- highly recommend!! "
