Special Sourcebooks Giveaway - Wendy Holden's MARRYING UP

Sourcebooks is extremely excited to be releasing Wendy Holden’s MARRYING UP in August (at this link).   MARRYING UP has all of the crazy love, eye-opening snobbery, and naked ambition to create a juicy cocktail worthy of any royal. After all, what’s a relationship without a title and a tiara?

Beautiful but broke student Polly and scheming social climber Alexa may have grown up in the same place, but they couldn't be more different. Polly's just fallen for Max, a handsome country vet. But Alexa can't be bothered with love—any guy with a pedigree will do, mind you, as long as he comes with a title, a mansion, and a family tiara.

Alexa wiggles her way into friendship with Florrie, a clueless aristocrat who could support entire countries with her spare change. Suddenly the grandest doors swing open for Alexa, and a new life is so close she can taste it. Polly could care less about Max's money, but his mysterious habit of disappearing scares her. What's he hiding?

Razor sharp in its wit, and as fresh as newlywed royals, Marrying Up reveals how sometimes a rags–to–riches story can rip a girl to shreds—and how sometimes the rewards of love aren't always what you expect.

Praise for MARRYING UP:

“Holden, a former writer for the Mail on Sunday, certainly knows her way around snarky royal gossip and delivers here a very guilty pleasure.”
―Kirkus Reviews

“Anglophiles who stayed up all night to watch William and Kate walk down the aisle will have a lot of fun here, as will readers of Sophie Kinsella’s frothy Shopaholic series.”

― Booklist

“Readers will rush through this dishy chick lit tale to find the answer. A Cinderella story for the beach bag.”
―Publishers Weekly

“Gold-digging tale while providing a brimming bucket of laughs along the way.”

― Shelf Awareness for Readers

“Entertaining with a witty and dry sense of humor”

―RT Book Reviews
