This book has the perfect mix of romance, females taking charge and friendship which I love to read in chick lit. She’s a bit like Bridget Jones for the New Adult set. But when it comes down to the wire she does manage to make things write. She doesn’t always do or say the right thing at the right time.

Josie is one of those strong independent female characters who often doesn’t feel either of those things. And despite the somewhat unbelievability of Josie’s adventures there is something about them which rings true and makes you want her to succeed no matter how impossible it may seem. Yet there’s something truly authentic about Josie’s voice. I’m at a different life stage and her struggles have never been my struggles.

I loved how relatable Josie is – despite having next to nothing in common with her. Ok – so that sounds a little like overkill.īut it’s true. It’s how charmingly Tozer captures Josie’s honesty and personality. Nor is it the Devil Wears Prada energy which is captured beautifully. What makes Josie’s story so special isn’t the high flying lifestyle she gets thrown into as a writer for an up and coming webzine. Josie may have found a place for her in the city but happily ever after doesn’t last forever. This follow up to Tozer’s debut novel has all the embarrassing moments, glitz and glamour of The Intern and plus some. If you liked The Intern, you are going to adore Faking It.

When you love a book as much as I did The Intern there is always the lingering question of: can the author carry off such brilliance again? Am I going to be bitterly disappointed? Well let me tell you - Gabrielle Tozer is no one hit wonder. And lucky for me I got my wish in the form of Faking It – a sequel to Josie Browning’s adventures as part time student, part time glamorous magazine writer. But when Josie is invited to a media junket, she accidentally sets off a string of lies that threaten to ruin her reputation, love life and career forever.Īfter reading Gabrielle Tozer’s award winning The Intern, I wanted more. High on the perks at indi, Josie's doing a pretty good job of faking her way in the industry - even though she still hasn't mastered her hair straightener. Plus, she's battling with flatmates, frenemies and confusing feelings for travel writer Alex.

Now the pressure is on for Josie to prove she's got what it takes to help plan indi's launch. Her boyfriend, James, is crazy about her, and she's scored a writing job at indi.

Angus and Robertson Things are looking up for Josie Browning.
