Named a “Cinderella story for the beach bag”, Sourcebooks is extremely excited to be releasing Wendy Holden’s Marrying Up in August!

We will be picking a winner on August 11th. Make sure to leave your email addy or to check back to see if you won.
As women around the world watched Will and Kate walk down the aisle, many of them were plotting how they could find their own prince charming.
Razor-sharp in its wit and as fresh as newlywed royals, Marrying Up (ISBN 9781402270673, Sourcebooks Landmark, Fiction, Trade Paperback, $14.99 U.S., Aug 2012) by Wendy Holden reveals how sometimes a rags-to-riches story can rip a girl to shreds—and how sometimes the crown on your head can nearly crush you.
Only a title, a mansion, and a family tiara will do for a scheming social climber like Alexa, and she will go to great lengths to get it. Starting by befriending clueless aristocrat Florrie, who fills her life with parties, texting, and, above all, champagne, means that the grandest doors swing open and the prince of her dreams is within reach. But has Florrie’s mother, the formidable Lady Annabel, figured out Alexa’s intentions already?
Meanwhile, beautiful but penniless archaeology student Polly has found herself in love after a chance meeting with a dark-eyed stranger named Max. However, Max is hiding a big secret, a secret that could ultimately ruin any chance of him and Polly living happily ever after.
Praise for Marrying Up
“Holden, a former writer for the Mail on Sunday, certainly knows her way around snarky royal gossip and delivers here a very guilty pleasure.” Kirkus Reviews
“Anglophiles who stayed up all night to watch William and Kate walk down the aisle will have a lot of fun here, as will readers of Sophie Kinsella’s frothy Shopaholic series.” ―Booklist

I love the sounds of this book. I cannot imagine it for me.

I would vote for Brangelina since any little thing they do makes the news.
August 7th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Should George and Stacey ever decide to get married they would get my vote…
This sounds like a great book to read….

Well Brangelina would fit since everything they or their kids do is big news, but I personally do not consider them royalty. We need a classy couple like Desi and Lucy, or a new version of Elizabeth Taylor. Maybe we can borrow Wills and Kate. This book sounds like a fun read.

I think Brangelina
they fits as ‘royal couple’..
August 7th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
I don’t think of either of them as royal couples, either. But your book sure sounds fun.

I hear about them all the time so I would say Brad and Angelina.
August 8th, 2012 at 9:41 am
I can’t think of anyone today. I would go back to JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy. Sounds like a fun read!
August 9th, 2012 at 8:18 pm
If Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes didn’t split, I would’ve totally said them.
But now I suppose Brad and Angelina get the title.
