Amanda Wakes Up: A Novel

Amanda Wakes Up: A Novel

â€œAmanda Gallo is my kind of girl: funny, self-aware, and unable to resist a makeover. . . . I loved this novel.â€Â â€”Lauren Weisberger, author ofÂ The Devil Wears PradaÂ andÂ When Life Gives You Lululemons

â€œEntertaining.â€Â â€”People

When Amanda Gallo, fresh from the backwater of local TV, lands the anchor job of her dreams at FAIR News, she thinks sheâ€™s 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 sheâ€™s got what it takes.
Â
As the news heats up in a hotly contested election season and a wildcard candidate, former Hollywood actor Victor Fluke, appears on the scene, Amandaâ€™s pressure-cooker job gets hotter while her personal life unravels. Walking a knifeâ€™s edge between ambition and survival, and about to break the biggest story of her career, AmandaÂ must decide what sheâ€™s willing to give up to get aheadâ€”and what she needs to hold onto to save herself.
