BOOK NEWS & COVER: Adele Parks
I am just loving the new covers from Adele Parks. The black and white with a hint of colour looks really striking and makes me forget all about my aversion to just showing the woman's legs. In fact, the more I look, the more I like.
Tell Me Something is out now in paperback and Love Lies will be out in July. The synopsis for Love Lies is over the cut.
Fern is staring thirty in the face and stuck in a stale relationship. Living with Adam used to be great – before the novelty of falling over smelly trainers wore off – and these days, swinging from the chandeliers means DIY not SEX. Fern's looking for commitment of the marrying kind or it's all off. But a chance encounter with Scottie Taylor – the hottest male singer since Robbie – lights fireworks in Fern that won't stop exploding. It's mind expanding love at first sight for both Fern and Scottie and when he proposes to her in front of a sellout crowd at Wembley Stadium, Adam is relegated to the bottom division. Before you know it, Fern is leading the glamorous life in LA and the wedding planner is arranging organic cake showers. But isn't this all happening a little too fast? Didn't she once have an OK life in a rented two bedroom flat in rainy Clapham? Fern must choose which reality she prefers – but it's a tough call when you're living the reallife fairytale...

I must admit I picked up her latest book on the strength of the gorgeous cover, and the next one looks just as lovely. The story was good too!

I like the black and white with some colour and since it is relaxing to the eye, you can set your eyes on it with paining.
Thank you.

You lovely, lovely people. Thank you so much for noticing the new covers. So many clever, creative people at Penguin have put loads of work into them so it's brilliant that so many more clever and creative people have appreciated it! Many thanks
