More "love" for Love Under Cover

Thank you to Joanne Rendell, the fabulous author of Crossing Washington Square and The Professors' Wives' Club for her beautiful endorsement of LOVE UNDER COVER.

"Love Under Cover is a thoughtful and compelling follow-up to The Fidelity Files. With her usual smart, deft, and witty prose, Brody delves deep into the psychology of a woman who tests the fidelity of strangers for a living but struggles with commitment in her own life."

Booklist loves LOVE UNDER COVER!

This is always the most nerve wracking part of the publishing process, watching all the early reviews start rolling in. I'm so grateful to have received another awesome one...this time from Booklist.

Here's what they have to say:

"Those who enjoyed Brody's debut will be eager to catch up with Jennifer, but newcomers will be intrigued, too...an honest, witty portrayal of modern love."

Thanks Booklist!!!

I heart Publisher's Weekly!

So here I am on a lazy Monday Labor Day morning, just scrolling through my meaningless junk emails when I stumble across a Google Alert that appropriately "alerts" me to the fact that LOVE UNDER COVER has just been reviewed in Publisher's Weekly. Imagine my surprise when I didn't even KNOW they were reviewing it!

So with shaky hands, I clicked to read the review and two minutes later I was promptly hopping about the room like Tigger on steroids.

Here's the clincher:

"With a complicated, sympathetic protagonist, worthy stakes and a clever twist on the standard chick lit narrative, Brody will pull readers in from the first page."

Yay! This was a HUGE relief given that this book was SO difficult for me to write (they call it the second book curse!), keeping me up nights, causing me to pull my hair out on several occasions and many, MANY gallons of frustrated tears. It's just so great to know that at least all the pain was worth it!

Thanks, PW. You are my new best friend!

"Awesome" New Review of The Fidelity Files

If you book lovers haven't yet discovered the blog, Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf, then you MUST head over immediately. She does some great stuff over there. And she's now my new best friend after giving Fidelity Files an A+ rating (it's been a few years since I've been in school, but if memory serves, it doesn't get any higher than that right?) and a kick-ass review!

Here's my favorite part:

Adding to the awesome main character, the plot was also intense and provided for several twists and turns you didn't see coming. Also, I enjoyed how it has a light side too it because of funny secondary characters...Overall, The Fidelity Files is definitely a book filled with awesomeness, I truly look forward to reading Love Under Cover.

Thanks Lauren!

I'm holed up in my office right now, putting the finishing touches on my second YA book, still untitled, and counting down the days until I turn it in and then leave for vacation!

Hope everyone's having an "awesome" day!
