Elle Medina is a fake psychic. She doesn't know how to
read your mind, tarot cards, palms, and doesn't get
premonitions. But Elle does give great advice and makes
some money off of her psychic phone service. In the mean
time she is writing a New Age column for Santa Barbra
Permanent Press. In her column she profiles new
alternative healing businesses such as aura readers,
acupuncturists, and pet psychics.
Before Elle met her boyfriend Merrick, real name Louis,
she was engaged to another man named Louis. They were
together for six years until he suddenly left her for
another woman. This has left her extremely insecure and
constantly worried about being cheated on or left again.
Merrick loves Elle, even if she doesn't trust him. He
wants her to find more direction in her life, perhaps by
getting a degree as a psychologist. Merrick works as a
successful architect and has to go away for weeks at a
time on jobs.
Elle's best friend Maya is getting married and Elle
decides this is the perfect time for her to try out her
wedding planning skills. Elle had the perfect wedding
planned for herself and her ex fiancé, but now that
wedding is never going to happen. Instead of being
depressed about this, she works hard to make her best
friend's wedding special.
During the wedding planning, psychic phone business, and
column writing, a humiliating video of Elle appears on the
internet. Any other woman would freak out and hide in her
room for days, not Elle. She faces the world head on
without fear or humiliation. How did this video end up on
the internet? Who put it there? Will this spell disaster
or success for Elle's career?
I loved TRUE LIES OF A DRAMA QUEEN. This book was
hilarious and I absolutely loved Elle's character. I loved
how she doesn't take life too seriously and doesn't let
anything faze her. The things that happened to her would
make a regular person crumble and hide, but Elle faces
life head on with no worries. If you are looking for
another book by this author try Hand-Me-Down which is also
a great read. Lee Nichols writes great chick lit and I can
see many more books in her future. Trust me, I'm a
psychic!
I'm a
professional psychic. (Completely accurate. Except
for the "professional" part . . . and the "psychic" part.)
I'm planning my best friend's
wedding. (Maya only thinks she's planning it.)
I'm a serious journalist. (I cover crystal
therapy for the local weekly rag.)
I live with my
boyfriend, Merrick. (I'm pretty sure he's still my
boyfriend.)
She may be lovely and talented but Elle
Medina's phone psychic business is sputtering, her boyfriend
thinks she's attending graduate school (not exactly) and
she's about to ruin her best friend's wedding. Things can't
get worse. Can they?
Of course they can. (For
example, her little striptease is currently playing on the
Internet.)
Join Elle as she seeks out the culprit
responsible for her unexpected unclothes star turn,
strenuously avoids higher learning and discovers that coming
of age is not a destination, but a journey... and she's
having a hard time staying on the road.
