If you are looking for a little light summer reading that involves all of your favorite Hollywood people, Jules Asner may have a little offering for you that even includes the inevitable Jennifer Aniston versus Angelina Jolie battle. For good measure the new mystery titled "Whacked" gets in more Hollywood celebs as well along with what siunds like some interesting twists and turns.
The book will be released in the first week in June and Amazon notes that Asner, an ex-model and wife of director Steven Soderbergh and E! Entertainment Television personality debuts with "a dishy mix of Tinseltown hackdom, chick lit and, surprisingly, a chilling plot. Dani Hale is an L.A. TV writer for crime show Flesh and Bone who has an inordinate interest in all things forensic one shared by technical adviser Rich Pisani, a retired LAPD cop."
"Dani hacks into e-mails and cellphones to alleviate hers. After discovering Dave has been cheating on her, Dani plots revenge on him, freckled harlot-starlet Chloe and office boor Evil Janet, but things quickly spiral out of control. Asner juggles horror and giggles and wraps it up with a subtle kicker, and though Rich's role is underwritten, the novel is still tons of fun."
It sounds like fun. The New York Daily News notes that Drew Barrymore pops into the novel as well along with comments about Jolie's breasts. In the battle of Jennifer vs. Angelina Jules appears to have sided with Jen. After the shot at Jolie in the book, Jules adds, "Jen is the sweetest, nicest person in the world. I'd only mention her in a great capacity."
