Up All Night — Carmen Reid

A sexy, challenging and wildly entertaining novel about a 30-something journalist who's hoping to uncover the scoop of her career while raising her two kids.

There aren't enough hours in the day for overworked newspaper reporter Jo Randall. What's she going to investigate this week? Are vaccinations safe? Does cling film kill? She's getting close to cracking the biggest scoop of her career -- if she could just land an interview with the intriguing environmentalist who won't talk to her.

But how will Jo meet her deadlines when her distractions include two needy daughters and a Barbie birthday party; her pompous ex-husband and his pneumatic girlfriend; her best friend Bella Browning; and the romantic intentions of a scruffy super-chef. There's no doubt about it, Jo's going to be . . . Up all Night.
