Bad Publicity by Bianca GillamMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Andie lands her dream job in publishing, then learns that her first job is to accompany best-selling author Jack Carlson on a book publicity tour of Europe. What Andie's boss doesn't know is that Andie and Jack were at Edinburgh university together, they share a past and Andie has never forgiven him. The idea of spending a month travelling with him is unbearable, but the only alternative is to tank her first assignment - ain't never gonna happen.
Jack tries to apologise and explain but Andie's righteous anger burns bright and she refuses to listen, in fact she take great delight in being as mean as she possibly can to him, until she realises how unprofessional her anger is making her. The trouble is, Jack's betrayal came just before her father's terminal cancer diagnosis and so the two events have become defining moments in her life, things she is desperate to push to the back of her mind.
I enjoyed this, but it wasn't anything I hadn't read before. Mortal enemies due to an 'event' in their past which is kept mysterious until near the end, forced proximity road trip, 'reasons'. TBH Andie wasn't a very likeable character, she wasn't a very good friend, she only called Sara to moan about her own problems, she was petty, and put her own feelings above everyone else's.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
