"Meet America’s Tweet-Heart.
She’s network reporter Cassidy Shea, better known as @TwitterGirl, with more than a million followers thanks to her sarcastic tweets. One hundred forty characters that can take anyone down a notch.
But while brevity may be the soul of wit, it can also get you fired.
When a controversial tweet goes viral the snarky redhead finds herself locked out of the career she loves… and watches her boyfriend take a hike.
Alas, no industry values sarcasm more than politics, and Cassidy becomes a marketable commodity for Presidential candidate Will Becker, a squeaky-clean, stone cold lock to be the next occupant of the White House. This candidate is unlike any other; he’s the country’s most eligible bachelor. He’s also looking for a running mate, and we’re not talking about a Vice President.
Twitter Girl has caught his eye.
Cassidy finds herself swept up in a whirlwind romance that turns her into the next Jackie Kennedy and becomes the favorite to be the next First Lady. The country can’t get enough of America’s First Couple… will Cassidy and Will Becker bring back Camelot?
But an anonymous tip triggers her journalistic curiosity. Is Will Becker all that he seems? The search for the answer teaches Cassidy the meaning of love."
Review:
If you're looking for a light-hearted read with a few laughs, look no further!
Twitter Girl is a romantic comedy, with a dash of politics on the side. I found my emotions easily changing along with Cassidy's as the story progressed and plot twists were thrown into the mix.
While the actual age of Cassidy and her friend Ripley is 35, their personalities feel much more like high school. They tend to lack the maturity of someone that age, but maybe I just think that because I'm not that old yet.
The plot itself is a little weak, and covered by the vast amounts of fawning over the various guys of the campaign. I would have liked to see more involving the politics and her job in general, which is what drew me in.
The snark in this story was hilarious. Cassidy has some major wit, and she stands her ground, which I can appreciate. While her hormones were off the charts at the beginning of the campaign, she really straightens herself out.
Overall, this is a very feel good romance. If chick lit is your thing, I definitely recommend this.
