Review
Amanda Gallo is my kind of girl: funny, self-aware, and unable to resist a makeover. Who knew there was so much good drama behind the perfectly coiffed talking heads we see every morning on cable news? I held my breath through the whole book as Amanda made her fierce and fabulous way through this crazy media maze. I loved this novel.

"A fast-paced romp through the world of broadcast news and politics that feels oh so real. Alisyn Camerota is surely psychic as she takes us through Amanda's--and our own--coming of age."
--Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle and The Book that Matters Most "Amanda is my favorite heroine to come along in a very long time. Every page crackles with the tension of this surreal moment in politics and media, and Amanda's earnest and honest efforts to juggle ambition, morality, and matters of the heart will suck you in from the opening chapters. Alisyn Camerota holds back nothing in delivering a novel that is steeped in perfectly accurate details about a life on live television and the universal desire to have it all."
--Nicolle Wallace, author of Eighteen Acres and Madam President
"Devil Meets Prada meets Newsroom . . . A perfect summer read."
--Cupcakes and Cashmere "A fascinating glimpse at a highly curated world . . . Journalism and entertainment blur in this story of a rising cable news star who lands her dream job only to see her life unravel around her. . . . Amanda has echoes of Bridget Jones as she walks a confounding line between ambition and bewilderment."
--Kirkus Reviews
"With a plethora of parallels to the most recent U.S. election, Camerota's timely send-up will engross readers from both sides of the political spectrum."
