Writers' Revenge

A fun and engaging novel that charts life in the publishing world, with a very varied cast of characters who are all easy to connect with, some you like and some you don't. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be an author or to be responsible for publishing a book, then this is a great read. It's one to pass the time curled up on the sofa or having a soak in the bath.

Cute, funny and smart are words to describe this book. It took me no time to read it because I couldn’t put it down. A true break from life for a bit and just enjoyable fun.

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is not my usual genre, I’m more of a crime/thriller reader however this story intrigued me. I absolutely loved it, truly one of the best books I have read. I am extremely pleased and grateful to both for opening up my mind to something totally different.

I really enjoyed this book. Character development was good. The plot was very interesting. Not a lot of typos.

While I found the book enjoyable overall, it did take me a while to get into the groove.

Having spent plenty of time on both the writing and marketing side of the business world, I had an appreciation for the tension between the 4 writers and their nemesis (the publishing company owner & employees.) Each has their own goals and way to go about making them.

In this novel, though, the publishing company is broken. The owner is more concerned with fattening his personal bank account. And his "wonderful" editor is more focused on her next drink and tearing apart the work of the authors. Given the toxic state of things, when they announce a contest with a cash prize, a group of authors (4 women with very different writing styles) decides to exact revenge.

Plenty of bumps and twists in the road to get to where the greed and hatred of others from the owner and editor come out in the light of day. And, the writers and marketing gal realize they were never the other's enemy. Instead, the editor drove that wedge.

By the end of the novel, I was curious to see where this cast of characters would go next.

Many thanks for the advanced reader digital copy to read. All opinions are my own.

Really enjoyed this book. Steady paced, great characters, I was absorbed throughout. Will be reading more Gamble books in the future!

A delightful rom-com. Such a cute story.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

A Cut-throat World.....
Life in the world of publishing isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be for the protagonists in this book - welcome to a world of cut-throat tactics and underhand dealings. Will there ever be a book published? Funny and feisty, an entertaining read.

This was an awesome book! I love the fact that it was about authors who get their revenge. Makes you wonder how many authors actually go through crap like this!

This book was enjoyable. It's well-written and a great read. Alice Gamble did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I would recommend it!
