NEW RELEASE
Mr Almost Right - Eleanor Moran (2010)
Costume designer Lulu falls for leading actor Charles on the set of a TV period piece. Only problem is he's married with kids. Fighting hard against her feelings and keeping them a secret from her twin Alice also proves to be a problem. Alice, who is dating a guy with anger management issues, is instead trying to convince her sister to go out with Ali, a very amenable local policeman. Meanwhile, Lulu's trying to keep her costume department within a very meagre budget as her boss Zelda is too sick to work. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read - a familiar theme is given a fresh take with a refreshingly funny heroine and lots of believable on-set drama courtesy of the author's TV producing background.
TV executive producer Eleanor Moran follows up her debut novel Stick or Twist with a story about a woman who has found the right man, but at the wrong time. In Mr Almost Right, when Lulu meets actor Charlie, he seems like the perfect catch. But then she finds out someone else has already got to her Mr Right first - he's got a wife and kids. But sparks still fly when Lulu and Charles end up on location together. And Lulu's twin Alice is too preoccupied with her new relationship with the gorgeous but rage-filled Richard to offer any sage advice. Mr Almost Right is out in March.
