Synopsis: Sepp Gregory is a reality star hunk with killer abs who has released a fictional memoir of his life. The book is a smashing success and Sepp sets out on a nationwide book tour, except there is one issue, he didn't write the book nor has he even read it. Harriet, a popular blogger, sees through the web of lies surrounding this book and sets out to prove that Sepp is an idiot and that there is now way he could possibly write this beautifully written masterpiece of prose. While on tour, the fame caused by this book spreads not only to Sepp, but also to his ex-girlfriend and reality star love interest Roxy. Roxy is a beautiful, busty blonde who seems to only care about herself. Sepp, heartbroken from the breakup is still struggling with his inability to rise to the occasion when it comes to other women, until he meets Harriet. Although, Harriet wants nothing to do with Sepp except prove he didn't write the book, that is until she meets the actual ghostwriter, Curtis. Each of these characters embark on a journey that involves a travelling RV with hidden cameras, the Playboy mansion, a dead guy in the shower, a multitude of rest stop rompings, and one killer set of abs.
My review: This is a really fun read, I liked it a lot. This is my first book by Mark Haskell Smith and will not be the last. A sexy, funny, page turner, that again is not meant for everyone. There is roadside sex, cursing, death, busty babes and a dysfunctional penis. I read in one of these reviews on Goodreads that Mark is the Carl Hiassen of LA. What a great description. His characters are fun, likeable, or unlikeable if they are meant to be such, and the chapters are all very well written. The story comes together in the end and it just works, and works well. If you are looking for a funny read with some interesting characters and plot, look no further. Enjoy.
