Plotting to Win by Tara Chevrestt is a book about a game show "The Next Bestselling Author" where 7 contestants compete for $100,00 and a contract with a publishing house. Each contestant is from a different writing genre so that they are not all writing the same thing. The two main characters are Felicity James and Victor Guzman, but you get to meet the other 5 contestants and see the different points of view and interaction with them.I was a little disapponted with book. Not that the book was bad, but it felt more like a book about how to write, publish, promote, and edit a book rather than a romance. I just kept asking myself where is the romance between Felicity and Victor? One kiss and they are head over heals for each other? It just didn't seem right. I learned ALOT about everything that goes into the creation and publishing of a books, from picking the right editor, to how to chose cover art. Although there were some really funny situations with the contestants, the book was short, only 13 chapter, and I just keep feeling like I was missing something and could not connect with these two characters no matter how hard I tried.Now, just because this book was not my cup of tea, doesn't mean that you might not love it. Remember that this is only my opinion and what do I really know. :) So if you are looking for a quick, funny read about how to be become the next bestselling author, go out and get a copy of this book. You might feel differently than I did about this book and I would welcome you to let everyone know your opinion.
