NEW RELEASE
Getting Over Mr Right - Chrissie Manby (2010)
Ashleigh finds out via Facebook that she's been dumped by the guy she thought was Mr Right. But unable to just walk away, she embarks on an obsessive campaign to win Michael back and is more than willing to stalk her prey - both in real life and cyberspace. As she works through all the stages of a break-up - from denial when she turns up at his office to propose, through to anger when she constructs a voodoo doll - much more than her love life starts to suffer. This is the perfect book for those wanting to move on to the laughter stage. It's a light-hearted read that provides a very funny take on being dumped.
Chris Manby has decided to feminise her name by changing it to Chrissie. She says on her website that too many people mistake her name for a bloke's, despite her having written 14 chick lit novels. Her next book, Getting Over Mr Right, about a women trying to win back her ex, will be released in February. The summary says: "After more than two years together, Ashleigh is just waiting for Michael to pop the question. She's sure she's met her Mr Right. But Michael has other things on his mind - namely, an interior designer from Brazil with big hair and an even bigger chest. Out of the blue, Ashleigh finds she's dumped. Via Facebook. Ashleigh is not the sort of girl to take this news lying down. Instead, she embarks on a calamitous campaign to win Michael back. She's staking everything she's got. She may have lost her man, but has she also lost the plot?" Check out Manby's website for chapter one.
