LUCY BLOOM’S DEBUT NOVEL
I felt like I’d been through the wringer by the end of each chapter! I could not guess what would happen next. Bloom writes such good characters and some are so dreadful it feels kinda fabulous when they’re wiped out. Am I bad for finding that so satisfying?

Fast paced, funny and ferocious, The Manuscript is a novel about a novel, and the unexpected ways that life smacks you in the face.
When author, Edith Scott finds herself free in many ways, she switches genres to write a book about war and men. As she learns hard lessons from the men in her life who chew her up and spit her out, Edith writes them into her plot, killing them off with delight. But what she does not know is that real life is dealing with them in a parallel reality too brutal for words.
The Manuscript explores the sometimes disposable nature of modern relationships, divorce and online dating.
It’s a sexy post-divorce coming-of-age blind-sider of a novel, which explores the delicate nature of new relationships, the ruthlessness of karma and the blurry line between truth and fiction.
This story will take you on a roller coaster of emotions through the lives of its spectacular set of lifelike characters. There are plenty of heart-in-your-mouth moments that will surprise you and add to the richness of life surrounding the heartache and joy of the characters. Please don’t miss this book. It has a beating heart and a warm soul.
