. . . In my happy shoes! Here are Happy Shoes. . .
But why are you doing happy dancing in Happy Shoes, I hear you all cry?
I know, I know, I’m usually here with a little tale of woe where I have trouble with travel, or somebody thwarts me, but today, instead of feeling very sorry for myself because most of my writer friends are heading to Washington DC for the RWA national conference and I am not (I miss them!), I have happy news times three to cheer me up.
My new book, Totally Fabulous, has three very nice reviews, and I thought I’d share them here.
Firstly, the American Librarian Association July Booklist said this:
Radford’s genre-blending concoction of teen romance, ESP, and the glamorous end of the chick-lit spectrum goes down like a treat, thanks to smooth writing and credible characters. Brit teen Fiona goes to New Jersey to visit her newfound dad, who enrolls her in a camp to learn how to use her psychic powers. She worries about her new boyfriend’s trip to Rome, where there seems to be a Hot Italian Babe, and tries to “fix” the unhappiness she thinks she sees in her father’s family. Though the plotting assures Fiona a fairy-tale happy ending, the ride is fun and some intriguing ethical questions are posed painlessly but compellingly.

And then Sherri Myers at Romance Junkies said this:
TOTALLY FABULOUS by Michelle Radford is the sequel to ALMOST FABULOUS. I wish I had gotten to read ALMOST FABULOUS first, since it gives all the background of Fiona’s life and her first finding out about having ESP, but Ms. Radford does a good job of giving enough details that this book stands well on its own without the reader being totally lost and confused. Teens will enjoy reading about Fiona’s adventures in New Jersey as she adjusts to a whole different country, a new way of life, and her just-discovered ESP powers. Her sense of humor adds some funny touches to the story and helps keep it moving along. The characters were quite a varied cast, which also helped make TOTALLY FABULOUS a good read for a lazy summer afternoon by the pool.
And then this from Kimberly at Coffee Time Romance
The paranormal aspect of this book is fun and lighthearted. I liked the way Ms. Radford brought children of different types and nationalities together with one gift. Every child in the boot camp is special in some way, which a reader can relate to. I believe Fiona’s wicked sense of humor helped make this story work. She is able to keep a positive attitude in situations where most adults would not. A definite must read for any teen!
Okay, so Kimberley said it first and I posted it here, but good news comes in threes. Everyone knows that! So I just had to post it again.
LOL, no, I’ not really superstitious. I just like threes. . .
