NEW RELEASE
I Will Marry George Clooney (By Christmas) - Tracy Bloom (2014)
Michelle cast aside dreams of becoming a top chef and instead works in a chicken factory to provide the best for her teenage daughter Josie. She's upset to discover that Josie is preparing to take the next step with her unsavoury boyfriend, Sean. So Michelle makes a desperate bet - that Josie won't, if her mother is able to convince George Clooney to marry her. She embarks on a crazy escapade to meet the Hollywood heart-throb, even setting up a charity event to donate to his favourite cause. Meanwhile, Rob, the boyfriend of her late sister Jane, returns and Michelle realises she must have a long-overdue conversation with him. I would say somewhere between the conception and release of this novel that perennial bachelor George Clooney surprised everyone by finally settling down and getting married again - a fact alluded to in the prologue and epilogue. Nevertheless, the concept still works and Bloom weaves a very humorous story of a woman on a madcap mission. The supporting cast are terrific, especially DJ friend Daz, who continually espouses the virtues of One Direction. I will definitely be seeking out another book by this author (by Christmas).
With the real-life wedding for the heart-throb actor on the horizon, Tracy Bloom is preparing to release her novel, I Will Marry George Clooney (By Christmas). The summary says: "There comes a time in every woman's life when the only answer is to marry George Clooney. For Michelle, that time is now. Slogging her guts out in a chicken factory whilst single-handedly bringing up a teenager who hates her is far from the life that 36-year-old Michelle had planned. But marrying the most eligible man on the planet by Christmas could change all that, couldn't it? Sometimes your only option is to dream the impossible - because you never know where it might take you." I Will Marry George Clooney (By Christmas) is out in October 2014.
