Blog Tour: Bubblegum and Blazers by Isabella May*

'When Ali, Blake, Charlotte, and Grant sign contracts to star in a Back to School reality TV show, LOVE is the very last thing on their minds:
Ali flies to the UK from New Zealand, intrigued by the golden opportunity to advance her amateur social media influencer career.
Blake carpe diems the moment with both hands after a constant flurry of bad luck.
Charlotte jumps at the chance to relive her sporting glories of the past - and take a hiatus from her humdrum marriage.
And Grant is just relieved to get away from his failing second-hand music shop.
But once the advances hit their bank accounts, it soon becomes apparent that producer Jock’s Pied Piper-style offer to change their lives is distinctly lacking in sherbet fizz!
In fact, the only sweet thing about this gig for the former students and the rest of their Bubblegum and Blazers competitors, may just be the packet of candy in their pockets.
Re-enacting their past is a rollercoaster of revelations, retaliation, and unlikely romance in a gold-fish bowl of mayhem where Raphael (Agony Uncle of the school sweet shop) and his rhubarb and custards reign supreme...'

This is the story of Blake, Ali, Charlotte and Grant who have all signed up to a new reality tv show. The story is told over the course of 30 Chapters with a Prologue & Epilogue that perfectly begins and ends this tale. 

One thing to note is that this book has very clear changes of character point of view. No readers can be confused to who point of view they are now seeing. Each chapter gives you a new point of view. This results in the reader getting the full picture of what is going on throughout the story. 

This book is perfect for anyone who loves Reality TV, this book is basically a reality tv show in written format. The descriptions within this book are also top notch. Isabella describes things like sweets in such a way that not only can the reader picture them but also they will want to visit there nearest sweet shop to get their own supply.

Now let me tell you about the Author Isabella May, who lives in the mostly sunny Andalusia, Spain with her husband, daughter and son. Isabella is creatively inspired by the mountains and the sea. She grew up on Glastonbury's ley lines and she is unable to completely shake off her spiritual inner child, she is a Law of Attraction fanatic, as well as a Pranic Healer.  After a degree in Modern Languages and European Studies at UWE, Bristol (and a year working abroard in Bordeaux and Stuttgart). Isabella bagged an extremely jammy and fascination job in children's publishing, selling foreign rights for novelty, board, pop-up and non fiction books all over the world; in every language from Icelandic to Korean, Bahasa Indonesian to Papiamento! All of this fuelled her curiosity and love of international food and travel - both feature extensively in her cross- genre novels, fused with a dollop of romcom, and a sprinkle of magic realism.

Overall Isabella's book is full with tasty sweets and relatable characters, that readers are sure to love. Not only that but beware this book also has its fare share of twists, that will certainly keep readers gripped. You can get your copy HERE.

Until Next Time
