Тайната на Марша Мелоу

Rate this book
Коя е Марша Мелоу?
Това е въпросът, който вълнува половината Лондон, настървява журналистите от таблоидите да се втурнат по петите й и изправя на нокти консервативната майка на Лили.
Все още никой не подозира, че това е самата Лили.
Тя е написала мръсна книга и сега трябва да излезе на чисто.

“... закъсняваше за работа. Докато спринтираше през станцията на метрото и по платформата в отчаян опит да се класира за затварящата се врите си мотриса, усети как по бедрото й запълзя влага.
Нямах представа накъде отива това (сюжетът, не влагата), но въпреки това продължих.
И така натък. Триста петдесет и седем страници яко чукане. Направо не вярвах на себе си – как можах да пиша за такива неща? Беше много чиклит, така си мисля: самотно момиче в големия град търси любов... и я намира... многократно.
Не, не се майтапя. Написала съм книга, която “съчетава свежо момичешко остроумие с потен, нагорещяващ таза еротизъм” (Космополитън), “покварява чиклита с бляскав шот от първичен як секс” (Тайм Аут) и “отварщава читателя до дъното на душата му” (Дейли Телеграф).

Но не казвайте на майка ми. Това е тайна. Защото тази жена е толкова властна пуританка, че дори не съм й казала, че пуша”

Това не са единствените тайни, които Лили крие. А освен нейните, тя открива, че всички хора в живота й си имат своите малки или ... големи тайни: родителите й , сестра й, приятелите и шефът й, когото тя щеше да мрази, ако не беше толкова вбесяващо готин...

Чиклит от ново поколение – пародия на чиклита!

This was near the top of a box of books from Molyneux. I needed something to fill time while I had a cup of coffee on the way home, and this was the nearest to hand. A fun, undemanding, candyfloss read with the usual chick-lit dilemmas and exaggerations.

You just knew as the story progressed how deep a hole this lady was digging for herself and how funny it was going to be to dig herself out!

A nice easy read.

Amy has written a best selling book. The trouble is only a couple of people know as she still has to tell her Mum before the Daily Mail track her down. The problem is her Mother is not the kind of person who would take the news that her daughter has written a very pornographic novel very well.
Amy's problem magnifies as she resorts to lying and ends up digging herself in a very big hole.
The results are very funny as she tries to come clean.

Die Buchwelt und der Ottonormalbürger sind entsetzt. Jeder kennt sie, jeder liest sie, aber niemand weiß genau wer sie ist. Marsha Mellow. Autorin von erotischen Romanen, die ihren Leser ins Schwitzen bringen. Doch so glanzvoll wie die Karriere von Marsha begonnen hat, ist sie als Mysterium nun zur Fahndung ausgeschrieben. Ein Revolverblatt will ganz genau wissen, wer Marsha Mellow ist und was sie dazu bewegt solche Romane zu schreiben. Für die Durchschnitthausfrau ein heißes Leseabenteuer sind es vor allem Kinder, die mit den Werken nichts anzufangen wissen und Marsha in arge Bedrängnis führen. Bloß gut, dass Marsha nur der Künstlername der Autorin ist und sie es stets vermeidet an Lesungen oder Interviews teilzunehmen, auch wenn ihre Agentin das gern sehen würde. Marsha ist in Wirklichkeit nämlich gar nicht so aufgeschlossen und taff wie ihre Romane. Marsha heißt eigentlich Amy, Mustertochter, graues Mäuschen und vor allem hoffnungslos in ihren neuen Chef verliebt, was sich stets in Tollpatschigkeiten niederschlägt. Würde die Welt erfahren, wer sie wirklich ist, würde für Amy das Chaos ausbrechen. Aber es wird immer schwieriger ihre Identität als Autorin geheim zu halten. Denn da ist nicht nur ihr attraktiver Chef, sondern auch ihre streng konservative Mutter und ihre Schwester, die ihr langsam auf die Schliche kommen.

"Marsha Mellow und ich" war ein Zufallskauf, als ich mit der Schule in der neunten Klasse auf Klassenfahrt gefahren bin. Als ich begonnen habe zu lesen, dachte ich mir nur: oh mein Gott, was ist das denn... doch schnell wurde klar, dass ich nicht in einen mittelklassigen Porno gelandet bin, sondern "lediglich" ein Einblick in Amys Gedankenwelt präsentiert wurde. So schnell wie die Szene kam war sie dann auch wieder verschwunden und man lernte endlich Amy kennen, um die sich das ganze Buch dreht. Sie versucht ein Doppelleben zu führen, was sich zeitweise aber als sehr schwer herausstellt, vor allem, da die Romane von Marsha Mellow nicht nur extrem gefragt sind, sondern sie auch in Kinderhände geraten, was ein Boulevardblatt gleich dazu veranlasst eine Hetzjagd auf die junge Autorin zu machen. Oben drein muss sich Amy, als graue Maus, ausgerechnet in ihren attraktiven Chef verlieben und ein Fettnäpfchen nach dem anderen mitnehmen. Zwischen Gesprächen mit ihrer Agentin, die Amy endlich mehr im Rampenlicht sehen will, ihrem schwulen und geheimen Freund, einer zu neugierigen Schwester und einer überkonservativen Mutter versucht Amy einen Spagat der dazu verurteilt ist zu scheitern... oder doch nicht?

Das Buch liest sich locker und leicht, die Seiten fliegen nur so dahin. Man muss an einigen Stellen den Kopf schütteln, an anderen Stellen kann man sich vor Lachen kaum noch zusammen reißen. Es ist spannend Amy durch ihren schusseligen Alltag zu begleiten, sie bei ihren hin- und hergerissenen Gedanken zu beobachten oder sich einfach nur zu fragen, was denn wohl als nächstes passieren wird.

Empfehlen möchte ich die Geschichte allen, die gern lachen, nichts gegen explizite Sexszenen einzuwenden und ein grandioses Versteckspiel genießen können. Dem Leser wird hier wirklich etwas geboten. Die Geschichte ist kurzweilig und macht einfach nur Spaß, ohne wirklich tiefgründig zu sein. Ich mag das Buch.

This book is very funny. I couldn't help relating to her a bit, and I believe most of fanfic writers will relate as well - what if someone found your secret profile full of erotic stories?
Amy imagines hilarious situations in her head for every thing she has to deal with, and the way she keeps lying and lying to hide her secrets makes you feel stressed for her.
It's a nice reading for when you want to cheer up, you'll surely laugh a lot!

BRILLIANT. Omg hilarious! An absolutely hilarious book. One thing annoyed me was the sheer amount of day dreams this girl has. I mean, did we need one at the start of EVERY chapter? The ending annoyed me at first, but I actually did really like it in the end!

Naff, i finished it because it was easy. There were a few humourous parts but not as much as I thought there would be. I found myself getting really annoyed with the main character. The part that amused me the most was when I found out I share the same first name as the mother.

A fun quick read. To many dream sequences which is a pet hate of mine but I enjoyed all the ridiculous things that happened.
