Jenny is stuck. Stuck in a dead end job and a ho-hum marriage. It's time to make some changes, so armed with a newfound friend, a recharged writing career and a weekend getaway to spice things up with the hubby, everything is looking up.  But something is just not quite right.Jenny's Blue Velvet was not what I was expecting. I was looking forward to a nice little chic lit read about a woman finding herself in her writing. She found something, but I'm not so sure it's what she was looking for. I really enjoyed Jenny's musing about her marriage, her family, and her job. Her sass and spunk really made the real time scenes come to life. However, when we get a taste of Jenny's working manuscript it kind of fell apart for me. The writing was rough and uneven.  It is only later that her effort made sense. The farther Jenny delves into her romance/ mystery novel the more curious I became. The minute I thought I knew where the story was going it would swiftly veer off course. The twist at the end was a true gotcha moment, even if it was pretty implausible.  Jenny's Blue Velvet is a campy, sassy, mysterious story that is will leave you shaking your head and waiting for the next installment.
