The Mummy Bloggers by Holly Wainwright
Blurb
Sometimes life behind the screen is not as rosy as it seems...
Meet three Mummy Bloggers - each of them followed, idolised, imitated, taunted and trolled online.
Elle Campbell is a glossy, lycra-clad mum with washboard abs, a ten-year plan and a secret past. Abi Black has quit sugar, moved to the country and is homeschooling her kids. Leisel Adams slogs away at her office job each day before rushing home, steeped in guilt, to spend precious moments with her kids before bedtime.
When all three women are nominated for a prestigious blogging award with a hefty cash prize, the scene is set for a brutal and often hilarious battle for hearts, minds-and clicks. As the awards night gets closer, their lies get bigger, their stunts get crazier - and some mistakes from the past become harder and harder to hide.
My Opinion
I saw this book in my local library but unfortunately for me it didn't grab my attention as much as I would have liked. Each of the three bloggers up for the award is willing to do anything it will take to win. I didn't connect with any of the characters so for me this book didn't work but looking at the reviews I am in the minority.
A nice insight into the world of social media.
Rating 3/5
