The book is SO good that I am repeating my review from last March here:
Twitter reminds me of being at a cocktail party- short conversations of witty repartee. I heard a saying that Facebook is for all the people you went to college with and Twitter is for all the people you wish you went to college with. I check on my Twitter-verse daily and really feel like my Twitter friends are real. (You all are real, right?)
Thus, I already knew I would like Goodnight Tweetheart by Teresa Medeiros. The book is about an author who had an Oprah selected book but is now stuck writing her next book four years later. The bloom is off the rose and her publisher and agent are frustrated with her.
“Being chosen for Oprah’s book club was a little like being struck by lightning at the precise moment you won the lottery.”
“She had even invested in a shiny new pair of Stuart Weitzmans, hoping the flirty pair of nude pumps would scream successful beyond your wildest dreams instead of desperate to recapture former glory.” (I love this line because I love Stuart Weitzman shoes.)
In order to boost her following, her agent signs her up for Twitter. She lackadaisically plays around on Twitter and almost immediately meets Mark Baynard. They have serious witty tweets going back and forth. The writing is crisp and makes you laugh out loud. Mark is describing his European sabbatical while Abby is describing her dismal life at home with cats, take out food and writers’ block.
This book channels the movie You’ve Got Mail. Mark ends up having a BIG secret that Abby figures out and has to digest. This seemingly light book becomes a HUGE page turner around Chapter 12. You then simply cannot put it down as you have to know how it turns out.
Goodnight Tweetheart is so much more than it appears on the surface. You feel the relationship of Abby and Mark growing. I can’t say much more without being a spoiler so I’ll just say- GO READ THIS BOOK!
Simon and Schuster provided a review copy of this book for this post. All opinions are my own.
What are you reading and where are you going?
I can’t wait. I loved this book!
This sounds fantastic! Just stopped over from SITS. Looking forward to reading it and passing along the recommendation to my own book club.
Oh, this one sounds interesting! Can’t wait to read it. 🙂
Fun! Fun! Fun! I’m a sucker for witty writing, especially the “perfect tweet”. I always wish I’d said that! I would love to read this book!
Youve Got mail is one of my all time fav movies and this book sorta sounds like an updated version! I’d LOVE to read it and share with my readers!
Sounds interesting – I like novels that start out seemingly light and suck you in.
Ooh, it’s a page turner? Now I’m intrigued!
Can’t wait – hoping I win a copy 🙂
I’ll love to read this book for sure, and have a chat with the author.
Very interesting. I really wanna check this out.
I’d love to read this!
Tyhis sounds like something fun and different. Can’t wait to check it out!
This one looks great! As I mentioned over at SITS, I loved Secret Daughter. So I know this one will be great too. Hope you consider me!
I haven’t read this one yet. I am really looking forward to it after an awesome book club chat last week. I haven’t gotten a recommendation from you yet that I didn’t love.
This sounds like another good read!
Looks like you’ve selected another great book to read & tweet about! I mutually follow so many writer’s and authors on Twitter, this sounds incredibly fun! :>
This sounds like a great pick! Can’t wait to have a read.
I missed the last #sitsbook twitter book club because of a PTA meeting, so I really want to partake in this months!
Sounds like a great read!
I would totally LOVE to win a copy of this book. I haven’t missed a book club yet! So either way, you know that I will be there!
Thanks for the chance!
I so want to read this!!!
I could really use a good book to sit snuggled up by the fireplace and read to de-stress at the end of the day.
This book sounds hot diggity, fresh! Hmmm…that doesn’t sound right. I guess what I meant to say it that it sounds like a fun read!! (sometimes I try way too hard…)
Looking forward to reading this SITS book club selection, I loved Secret daughter from last month, just finishing it up!
This looks so good!
Stopping in from Sits and hoping to win! There’s nothing like a good book but to reading with others is super fun too. Crossing my fingers .)
Andrea, you always pick the best books – I’ve loved every single one I’ve read so far! This sounds like such a fun read – definitely a break from the more heavy stuff I’ve been reading! I’d love to score a copy so I can join up with yall online for the discussion 🙂
Any winners yet? Just wondering if I should go pick this one up, or if I may be a lucky winner…
