Book Review: Blind Submission by Debra Ginsberg

Quirky characters, a catchy plot, terrific writing, and an unpredictable ending push Blind Submission near the top of my favorite book list. While the novel is reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries, Blind Submission turns out to be a better ride.

Set in a literary agency, Angel Robinson is the assistant to Lucy Fiamma, a famous literary agent. As she critiques the work of aspiring authors, she runs across an unusual submission that seems to mimic her life. Each chapter sheds more light on what she thought were deeply hidden secrets. As her panic level increases, the reader is left to guess the identity of the anonymous author. Is it her jealous boyfriend, Single White Female co-worker, mysterious Italian lover, long-time friend, or unpredictable and cruel boss? The book will keep you guessing until the end.

I laughed out loud at least once a page. Ginsberg's description of the characters is outstanding and I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read with a great plot.
