Two evenings. I finished Hello, Juliet in two evenings, hardly coming up for air.
I've been a fan of Sam Bailey's books since her debut (Woman On The Edge), but Hello, Juliet shot up the ranks to my new favourite of hers.
Thank you to @thrillerbookreadsthepulse for my eARC for review!
Ivy Westcott, Lauren Malloy, Jesse Rafferty, and Caleb Hill are the new stars of the teen soapy drama series, Hello, Juliet. 
Hand-picked by series creator Mack Foster, the sensational publicity of the cast begins before the show has even aired. Ivy, in particular as the title character, is panned by fans from the get-go.
Why did the show Hello, Juliet only last for one season, yet became a famed cult classic?
The story is told in dual-timelines, opening with a return to the LA studio for a cast reunion, to the heyday of the show itself. 
Immediately I was drawn in by the 90210/The OC/One Tree Hill feel of it all. The twists and secrets are a tight weave indeed.
Recommended!
For release on April 29.
