As a treat to you all I have decided to post a review about one of my
favorite books. The paperback version will be coming out at the end of this
month and I thought since it is now cheaper it is even easier to pick up!

Jane Fortune is a true literati, there is nothing better in the world to
her then finding a comfy spot and reading a good book. She has even gone as far
as reviving a literary journal for aspiring authors to get their big break
which was started by her great-grandmother and aptly named The Euphemia
Review. After finishing college she took over the foundation and was able
to snag and amazing unknown named Max Wellman. Max’s story was in her debut
journal and thanks to Jane’s help he is now one the best authors in the Market!

Max was also Jane’s first love, he even went as far as asking her go go
away with him. This however was not to be thanks to her meddling aunt who
convinced the naive twenty-three year that such a match was not to be. She is
now thirty-eight and still single. Thing have been going smoothly since her
younger days, her journal is a well respected publication and she is content by
all intensive purposes living her life the way it is.

Her live abruptly makes a 180 when her high-class Boston families money
is suddenly kaput, forcing them out of their prestigious family home. Also
going on at the same time is another drama involving her newest lucky candidate
to be featured in her journal. The only problem is she cant find him! The
address he sent along with his submission is valid and so begins a chase to
track down her newest star author.

Though many larger book reviews have panned on The Family Fortune I
enjoyed it immensely. Especially when she spoke of her love for reading and how
it made her feel. I realized I am not so weird after all! It’s categorized as a
contemporary novel so look in your bookstores regular fiction section. I hope
some of you decide to pick up this book, you will not regret it.
