True Lies of a Drama Queen

by Lee Nichols

Book Overview

Some true lies of a drama queen: * My name is Elle Medina. (Absolutely true ) * I'm a professional psychic. (Completely accurate. Except for the "professional" part...and the "psychic" part.) * I'm planning my best friend's wedding. (Maya only thinks she's planning it.) * I'm a serious journalist. (I cover crystal therapy for the local weekly rag.) * I live with my boyfriend, Merrick. (I'm pretty sure he's still my boyfriend.) She may be lovely and talented but Elle Medina's phone psychic business is sputtering, her boyfriend thinks she's attending graduate school (not exactly) and she's about to ruin her best friend's wedding. Things can't get worse. Can they? They can and do when Elle's innocent dressing-room striptease (oh, like you've never ) ends up on the Internet, and she sets out to find the cyber-creep who put her there. Elle knows coming of age is not a destination but a journey... she's just having a little trouble staying on the road.

Customer Reviews

One of the "Just can't put it down books"

From beginning to end this book was quirky and interesting. Lee Nichols is an amazing writer! I loved it!

Pure entertainment

Both of Lee Nichols Drama Queen books are a lot fun. Light and fluffy with a great spacy main character. I love the silly drama, the crazy mishaps and of course the happy endings. The quirkiness of these novels is what makes them so great.

Great Beach Reading

I bought this for some light beach reading and absolutely LOVED it. I haven't read the first (store didn't have it) but it didn't matter. Easy to pick up on the plot. I will definitely be getting the first in series.

True Lies Of A Drama Queen

I loved it! The main character was great!

wild chick lit caper

In Santa Barbara Intuitive Counselor (some would say phony phone psychic) Elle Medina is stunned when some diabolically clever depraved predators film her stripping in a dressing room; she is the current rage on the Internet. Outraged she plans her style of vengeance on these miscreants, but is unaware of whom the cameraman is, but does have a nagging suspicion as to the identity of the pervert. Elle is more concerned that her best friend Maya is getting married to the right guy, but in the wedding gown from hell. She needs to take charge of the nuptials though she and Maya disagree on everything. Her own love life is okay as Merrick is a fine young man, but she worries that he is in Manhattan seeking a glamour queen and that he will learn she lies about graduate school and her profession even as she considers sharing an abode with him. What is a psychic who cannot see present and future and is unable to learn from her past mistakes do? She starts with eluding her houseguest, the groom's sexy sibling and keeping away from the wedding Rabbi who wants her, but after that who knows because as everyone knows, nobody could truly predict the future. As with her first appearance (see TALES OF A DRAMA QUEEN), Elle's latest tale is all over the place, but ultimately ties together through the wedding. The chick lit story line has the phony psychic in a panic over the Internet strip, the wedding, and her relationship with Merrick as readers follow the latest capers of the flawed screwball Elle.
