For Nori Stedworth, the day couldn't get any worse. She began her bad karma with a 2nd-degree burn on the top of her mouth, followed by the typical rainy day truck splash on her only suit. Thinking it can't get any worse, Nori discovers her best friend in the tub with her fiancé, and then her mom shows up for a surprise visit. To top it all off, Nori's company is going under.

Nori's mother is tired of being second fiddle to her husband, the town mayor of Ten Commandments. Her craft career takes off when she finds herself a new friend and a new hobby, bellybutton castings. Needless to say, Nori and her father are not impressed. Nori's imaginary friend and conscience, Gertie, reappears and seems here to stay.

After meeting Nori and accidentally switching laptops, Mackenzie Randolph realizes that Nori and Gertie are the answers to his prayers. Mac gives her a job at a radio station, where Gertie tells it like it is, and it isn't pretty for guys. Nori and Mac then start something they know they won't be able to stop.

TALK GERTIE TO ME is a laugh-out-loud book that leaves the reader wanting more. The stories intertwine perfectly between mother and daughter and all loose ends are tied up. All the characters are believable and funny, making the story a delightful, easy afternoon read.
