NEW RELEASE
Me & Miss M - Jemma Forte (2009)
Fran has always dreamed of making it as an actress but apart from one very embarrassing advert, it doesn't look like she'll ever get that lucky break. So when she gets the chance to work as a personal assistant to American actress Caroline Mason while she treads the boards in London, she jumps at the opportunity. And then continues jumping at every opportunity as Caroline, who dates the sexiest actor on the planet Carson Adams, is one very demanding boss. But something is not right with the superstars' relationship and Fran's own fledgling relationship may not survive her taxing job. From the cover to the storyline, this is never going to escape comparisons with The Devil Wears Prada and although Caroline wasn't as nasty as expected and certainly no match for Miranda Priestley, this is still a highly enjoyable read that deserves a place on your must-read list. (Interestingly, there is a German version floating around retitled The Goddess Wears Gucci.) The ending leaves it open for a sequel.
Touted as the British version of The Devil Wears Prada, Me and Miss M, by British TV presenter Jemma Forte, is about life as a celebrity assistant. Fran is a struggling actress who takes a job as PA to Hollywood actress Caroline Mason while she is appearing in a West End production. But Fran's new job is far from glamorous as her days are spent fetching never-ending skinny lattes and being an all-round slave to the demanding diva. And when the job starts to cost Fran her friends and the man of her dreams she has to ask herself whether it's really worth it. The time has come for Miss M to find out a few home truths ... It's out in November.
