Shortlisted for the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel Awards 2013
Laura Meredith never imagined herself appearing on TV--she's too old,
too flabby, too downright hormonal, and much too busy holding things
together for her son, Stanley, after her husband left her for a younger,
thinner replacement. But best friend Charlotte is a determined woman and
when Laura is persuaded on to a daytime show to talk about her PMT,
everything changes.
Suddenly there's a camera crew tracking her every move and Laura finds
herself an unlikely star. But as things heat up between her and gorgeous
TV director, Cal, they're going downhill elsewhere. While Laura's caught
up in a heady whirlwind of beauty treatments, makeovers, and glamorous
film locations, Charlotte's husband, Roger, is concealing a guilty
secret, Stanley's got problems at school, work's piling up, and when
Laura turns detective to protect Charlotte's marriage, things go
horribly wrong. The champagne's flowing as Laura's prime-time TV debut
looks set to be a hit. But in every month, there's a "Day Ten."
