A new novel from Katie Heaney and Arianna Rebolini that peeks behind the curtain of modern celebrity culture and reveals the public relations know-how that plays a role in every superstar’s image.

Young PR star Rose Reed is thrown into the big leagues when her boss leaves town the day of the firm's meeting with Archie Fox, a hot, internationally famous British singer-songwriter. He's totally over fame and has withdrawn from the spotlight, but now, his audience is losing interest too. While meeting with Archie and his desperate manager, the PR team throws out terrible idea after terrible idea until Rose speaks up and suggests a staged with up-and-coming, young indie star Raya. He agrees – but only if Rose becomes his publicist.

As the faux-mance begins to rehabilitate Archie's faltering career, Rose finds herself having unexpected, inconvenient (and definitely unprofessional) feelings for the crooner. But do late night texts and impromptu burrito binges mean he feels the same? In the end, Rose will have to decide whether to let her fantasy crush go, or to risk her reputation to be with the charming, handsome, scoundrel-y but sweet pop star she's grown to love.

Like The Devil Wears Prada and The Royal We, PUBLIC RELATIONS offers readers a fictional peek into a larger-than-life world, filled with strategized dinner dates, carefully curated wardrobe selections, purposeful calls to paparazzi, and unexpected romantic entanglements.

This is what I consider a great read for the summer. It's hilarious, heartwarming and sexy all within one book. The authors really did a fabulous job capturing our interest with what happens behind the scenes of celebrities and music industry.

Just take my word, that you will enjoy every single page you read of Public Relations and then share it with the world. The characters are great and have wonderful chemistry, which we know is super important in a book. The laugh out loud moments are probably my favorite, with the swoon-worthy love elements close behind. The book has a great balance and nothing weighs it down.

I recommend this to everyone, your gonna love it. It's what a rom-com always should be.
