Reality Check

'Such a fun, heart-warming page-turner' - Marian Keyes'A fantastic Irish writer' - Joanne McNally'The next Jackie Collins' - Aoife Barry'I don't know if Ireland has ever seen a book like this' - Georgie Crawford, The Good Glow'It's camp and sexy but also a serious exploration of romantic relationships, friendship and family. Escapism at its finest!' - Sarah Breen Portia Daniels' life is sorted. She has a perfect man (Jason, a hot TV producer from Ireland), a perfect apartment (in lower Manhattan), a perfect job (writing for TV).
Best of all for her, unlike the rest of her family, she lives in perfect obscurity. On the other hand, it's all drama with her mother, Dessie, Kerry-born queen bee of hit reality show, Ladies of Los Angeles, and sisters, Vinnie, a supermodel-turned-Insta-guru and Ariel, a Tik-Tok teen sensation. When Jason drops a bombshell that leaves her life in tatters, Portia flees to be with her family. Her timing could not be worse though as scandal engulfs Vinnie's empire and Ariel bratty behaviour gets out of hand.
As for Dessie, she is clearly hiding something. It seems like the glamour and gossip on which Dessie built her empire might just be its downfall. But maybe Portia has been fooling herself about living a 'real' life? She might be about to get as big a wake-up call as her mother and sisters. From the bright lights of LA to the rugged charm of west Kerry, Reality Check is a delicious look behind the scenes of what really goes down in Tinseltown.'Glamorous, witty and full of heart and humour' - Edel Coffey'Absolutely hilarious.
Can't recommend it highly enough' - Paul Howard'So thrilling, so juicy ... I am on the edge of my seat' - Rozanna Purcell'Perfect for devouring by the beach this summer' - Deirdre Reynolds, Sunday World'The one book every gal needs to bring on holiday this summer' - Kat O'Connor, Her.ie'Hugely entertaining . serves classic Jackie Collins glamour and drama with an Irish twist' - Anna Carey, Irish Times
