Everything Lovely, Effortless, Safe, a debut novel about a pastor’s wife-turned-aspiring Hollywood actress, is filled with such precision and grace that author Jenny Hollowell seems like a veteran, according to BookPage reviewer Kari Edgens.
The novel comes out a week from today, but you can get a preview now in the book trailer below, which includes an excerpt from chapter 43 (don’t let that number scare you off; the novel’s 256 pages):
Also take a look at Edgens’ review of this “engrossing read on the obsessive nature of celebrity.”
Will you read Everything Lovely, Effortless, Safe? Can you recommend any other book trailers?
This trailer is GREAT but only half as good as the book!!
Sounds fantastic and I can’t wait to read it.
I’m hooked — can’t wait for the release!
There is something off-putting about a book of 40+ chapters that is under 300 pages. I have not seen many ‘book trailers’, but the idea of a trailer is to entice you. The monotonous voice of the narrator only brought thoughts of boredom to me. I would think I would be given an overview, a synopsis here. But I wasn’t. If not for the brief bit about it regarding celebrity (from the written text accompanying the video) I would have no idea what the novel is about.
