Welcome to the troubled world of Sellevision, America's premier retail broadcasting network. When Max Andrews, the much loved and handsome (AKA, lonely and gay) host of "Slumber Sunday Sundown" accidentally exposes himself in front of sixty million kids and their parents during a 'Toys for Tots' segment, Sellevision faces its first big scandal. As Max fails to find a job in television, another host, the popular and perky Peggy Jean Smythe, is receiving sinister e-mails about her appearance from a stalker. Popping pills and drinking heavily, she fails to notice that her husband is spending a lot of time with the very young babysitter who lives next door. Then there's Leigh, whose affair with Sellevision boss Howard Toast is going nowhere until she exposes him on air; and Bebe, Sellevision's star host, who may find Mr. Right online if only she could stop her shopping addiction from taking over.
I loved this book when I read it. I love to listen to books in the car on my way to work or on road trips. My only problem with this audiobook was the person narrating...it wasn't the author and to me it felt like she was overacting the parts. The story was still just as funny as when I read it but I had to concentrate on not getting annoyed by the narrator.
The premise of this book is an expose on the home shopping network lifestyle of the hosts. I found the book average with dated references, crude sex scenes for shock value and the story lines were uneven and contrived. I enjoy this author's personal stories much more.
