Free (Kindle UK) The Idea of Him [Chick-Lit/Women's Fic Work-Life Balance Drama]
The Idea of Him by Holly Peterson is a chick-lit/women's fiction literary drama novel starring an ambitious young woman apparently trying to find a work/life balance in between juggling a struggling marriage and some kind of workplace shenanigans, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins' uncollinated Harper imprint.
According to the customer reviews, apparently, this tries to be a darker and more "serious" sort of novel than you'd normally expect from a typical chick-lit setting, with a touch of white-collar crime mystery and psychological thriller in it (not mentioned in the blurb) . Currently free @ Amazon UK. This isn't being price-matched to iTunes, and sometimes UK freebies are late to drop elsewhere when they're official multi-store promos, so here's some linkage for your price-drop-check convenience over @ Kobo (most likely only available to the UK) & B&N UK, where these things usually (but not always) turn up after a couple of days. Unlikely to cross the pond, as we've a had a very low transmigration rate for HarperCollins UK freebies to date, and this seems to be a different edition from the North American one anyway. Description From the New York Times bestselling author of THE MANNY comes a vibrant novel of love, life lessons and learning to trust yourself Allie Crawford has the life she always dreamed of – she's number two at a high-profile PR firm; she has two kids she adores; and her husband, Wade, is handsome and heroic and everything she thought a man was supposed to be – running a successful news magazine and, best of all, he provides the stable yet exciting New York City life Allie believes she needs in order to feel secure and happy. But when Allie finds Wade locked in their laundry room with a stunning blonde in snakeskin heels, a scandal ensues that flips her life on its head. And when an old flame calls, a new guy gets a little too close for comfort, and the woman wants to befriend Allie, she starts to think her marriage is more of a facade than something real. Maybe she's fallen in love not with Wade – but with the idea of him. Captivating and seductive, told in the whip-smart voice of a woman who is working hard to keep her parenting and career on track, The Idea of Him is a novel of conspiracy, intrigue, and intense passion – and discovering your greatest strength through your deepest fears.

Took longer than I thought it would, but this has finally dropped to free @ Kobo UK (link in OP).
ETA: And now finally @ B&N UK as well. Last edited by ATDrake; 09-30-2014 at 03:52 AM. Reason: Hat trick of stores now. |
