How many people out there love reading romance novels, but feel embarrassed to admit it? Do you dream of one day writing your own romance novel, but wonder what your friends and family would think of you if you did? Would you write under a pen name, perhaps? To avoid the scrutiny you might come under if people knew it was your work?Penelope Janu's new book, "On the Same Page" (XO Romance, 2018) explores this dilemma in a fun, witty and sexy commentary on the Australian literary scene. Our heroine, Miles Franklin, is a modern woman with a distinguished literary family, who works as a lawyer by day and romance writer at night. She doesn't want anyone to know about her romance-writing alter-ego. But when her latest manuscript wins a prestigious literary prize, she is under pressure to reveal herself as the true author and in the process challenges stereotypical views about romance writers and their work. A wonderful, uplifting and highly entertaining novel that will have you racing through the pages to find out how it all ends. I loved it!
