Bicoastal Babe – Book Review

A new book to read by a new author Cynthia Langston –  Bicoastal Babe. Sounded like a a good read. Something light and fun. And it was!

Bicoastal Babe was one of those books I read non stop. Cynthia Langston is a great writer, really gets you into the characters and story.

The story is about Lindsey Miller who was just dumped by her boyfriend and then losses her job. She holes up in her apartment feeling sorry for herself, until her friends get her a once in a lifetime interview. Lindsey lands the job, but it’s not the job she wanted. It’s writing for a new newletter about tracking trends. Lindsey has no clue what is trendy and what is not! But she is determined to give a try!

Lindsey travels from New York City to Los Angeles on a weekly basis and tries to learn from her partner, who by the way knows trends. Lindsy finds herself falling for a man in each city and doesn’t know what to do about it. She is failing at her job and failing in the romance department.

One of the trends in the book is about movies that have endings that don’t end. Bicoastal Babe’s ending kinda leaves you hanging, but sets it up perfect for the next book! I’m looking forward to another book, by Cynthia Langston whether it’s a sequel of just another novel.

This was a light-hearted book that made me laugh! Very entertaining!

I just found out that the CW has picked up Bicoastal Babe and will be making a television show, Trending, produced by Katherine Heigl. How exciting! This will be on my watch list!

Purchase Bicoastal Babe at Barnes & Noble .

Cynthia Langston was born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin.

She began her writing career at the age of twelve, with a bi-weekly soap opera called “Yesterday’s Desire.” Scrawled in a series of tattered red notebooks, YD was passed around the 6th grade class at St. Pius Catholic Gradeschool, where its enormous popularity and demand-for-more inspired Cynthia to make writing a priority.

She continued penning short stories and screenplays throughout high school. She eventually moved to Chicago to study writing in the prestigious Radio/TV/Film department at Northwestern University, where she also wrote film and theatre reviews for the school’s prize-winning newspaper, The Daily Northwestern. During her senior year, she received national attention for pioneering one of the first authentic “sex columns,” a weekly he-said/she-said column called “Bungalations.”

After college, Cynthia moved to the New York area, where she continued to write for a wide variety of publications, including a stint as a film critic for Film Journal International. While in New York, she began a side career in advertising and eventually launched her own successful market research company, Consumer Dig.

In 2001, Cynthia moved herself, her company and her two cats to Los Angeles, where she now lives in the gorgeous Hollywood Hills with her husband and brand new baby boy.

Currently, Cynthia is re-launching Bicoastal Babe to coincide with the development of Katherine Heigl’s “Trending,” a new drama series in development on the CW network (which is based on BB).

Her new novel, “The Very First Bite,” will debut in 2012.

I received a copy of the book to review. Opinions are my own.
