Excerpt: Jenna Takes The Fall by A.R. Taylor

Perfect for fans of Followers by Megan Angelo and If You’re Happy and You Know It by Laura Hankin, JENNA TAKES THE FALL by A. R. Taylor (September 1, She Writes Press) is a darkly humorous, at times absurd, coming-of-age novel that examines the life of a young woman who becomes infamous before she becomes anybody at all. At just twenty-four, Jenna McCann has moved to Manhattan from Ohio, landing a job as assistant to prominent New Yorker Vincent Macklin Hull of Hull Industries and their somewhat tacky magazine NewsLink.

We quickly learn from the outset that Jenna has been called by Hull’s publicist to stage herself underneath his lifeless, half-nude body before calling 911. How would this particular image play if it were made public? But presumably, only the authorities would see it, thank god.

Taylor gives a sharp look at viral internet notoriety in this wry and immensely entertaining page-turner about a desperate ingenue who finds herself caught in the middle of New York’s biggest scandal.
