Deadlines, Divas, & Danger: Behind the Scenes in the TV News Biz

For TV producer Melissa Moore, crisis management comes with the job. From employee disputes to her high-maintenance boss, there's not much she hasn't seen or can't handle. But no one - including Melissa - expects a fistfight during the ten o'clock news. When sexy-but-crazy Alyssa Andrews lands a punch on her co-anchor's face, Melissa jumps on set to help. She's determined that WSGA's reputation won't be destroyed on her watch. Both anchors are fired and Melissa agrees to fill in - but not before polishing her look from haircut to heels.

While the new Melissa wows WSGA viewers, her personal life starts fraying at the edges. Melissa's husband is away more than he's home, leaving cryptic Post-it notes in his wake. Her mother's antics spiral out of control at the nursing home and a stalker decides Melissa is her next target. What happens next? Stay tuned to find out....

Humor/Drama/Romance

The story follows a career woman trying to balance the challenges of work, parents, marriage, friendship, and children. Some drama, a little humor, and romantic tension.

Black Stereotypes

Why is the Black woman "the help", has round hips, is a single mom who doesn't know where the daddy is and she speaks with broken English. Shame on you Lauren Clark! If one dimensional stereotypes are the only thing that come to mind d when creating characters of color, then just leave them out of your book.

Enjoyed the backdrop of WSGA

Would you listen to Stay Tuned again? Why?

I listened to this audio book on my commute, about the broadcasting career of Melissa Moore as she and her husband Chris face tough times, workplace bullying/drama, self-doubts and sandwich generation concerns. As their daughter moves away, they figure out who they are, what they want, and the how to get it is the bulk of this story. The audio rendition was easy to listen to but the story did drag in places. Overall, Clark wrote it concisely, which I appreciated, but there were some added details that just made it limp along and didn't get to the point as it could have. Had a hard time classifying this as either contemporary romance or women's fiction. I'd veer to the women's fiction since it dealt with so much more in the plot. The antagonist Alyssa came across somewhat predictable but with a few surprises as did the rest of the novel. Loved Candice's wisecracking and friendship. Enjoyed!

Slow story or just annoyingly bad narration?

What did you like best about Stay Tuned? What did you like least?

I liked the "idea" of the book. I didn't like anything else...

What could Lauren Clark have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

A different narrator may have made it a 3 star overall experience. As it is,

Would you be willing to try another one of Gillian Vance’s performances?

No...

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No...

Any additional comments?

Disappointing.
