Amanda Gallo is my kind of girl: funny, self-aware, and unable to resist a makeover. . . . I loved this novel. -Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada and When Life Gives You LululemonsEntertaining. -PeopleWhen Amanda Gallo, fresh from the backwater of local TV, lands the anchor job of her dreams at FAIR News, she thinks shes finally made it: a six-figure salary, wardrobe allowance, plenty of on-air face time, and a chance to realize her dreams, not to mention buy herself lunch. Instead, she finds her journalistic ideals shredded as she struggles to keep up with the issues in a ratings-crazed madhouse: battling for hair and makeup time; coping with her sexist (but scathingly handsome) coanchor, Rob; and showing Benji Diggs, her media maestro boss, that shes got what it takes.As the news heats up in a hotly contested election season and a wildcard candidate, former Hollywood actor Victor Fluke, appears on the scene, Amandas pressure-cooker job gets hotter while her personal life unravels. Walking a knifes edge between ambition and survival, and about to break the biggest story of her career, Amanda must decide what shes willing to give up to get ahead-and what she needs to hold onto to save herself.
