In May 2007, two photographs drastically changed the course of Hilton Joliet's life. Now, twenty months later, the wild ride hasn't stopped. It's a new year of jetting off to a different location each week, hanging with the best tennis players in the world, taking the scandalous pictures of them her boss at Game Set Match magazine loves her for, and finally starting to work on her book, which will document one year in her life through pictures and places and be called Living in a Postcard, a term Hilton and her best friend Jill coined to represent living in the moments they would die for. For Hilton, that's what 2009 is all about. After spending the off season adjusting to the end of her seven-year relationship with her boyfriend Luke, who is still her roommate, Hilton rejoins the tennis tour ready to have the time of her life with her two favorite players, bad-boy-turned-actually-kind-of-funny-hookup-buddy Haidin Bayliss and her best friend on tour Tanner Bruin, the guy who might be p

Review of Daisy Jordan’s “Living in a postcard”As for copy editing, design, formatting, structure and basic English skills, nothing jumps out as wrong exactly- although it seems to me it all might have been said with many fewer words- My problem with this narrative was the subject matter and central character, Hilton. I may never care much about the romantic shenanigans and aspirations of a contemporary American girl in her 20’s, even if she is a pro tennis tabloid journalist traveling the world like a tourist, not an adventurer, with her friends and acquaintances, but every opportunity to arouse my voyeuristic tendencies was negated with slow paced descriptions beating around the wrong bush. Cookie cutter asexual names like Hayden, Hilton, Tanner and Austin personally leave me at the bus stop. I just cannot care, easily losing track of who is who, or more importantly who is supposed to be doing who. The privilege reeks off these monied caucasians, and I suppose it’s meant to suffice as exotic in lieu of story among fans of the romance genre, but as an older male neophyte perhaps my lack of appreciation and understanding actually recommends this work better than a comprehensive literary critique, or complaints over insufficient pornography. So what the hell, maybe sport fans will dig it, or older women, or anthropologists. Buy it, read it if you can, please do, even though it’s charms and merits elude me. I couldn't read the entire 417 pages (Really, is that not excessive?), and I honestly do not understand this book.
Note to the author: More explicit sex scenes have never diminished my enjoyment of any book I’ve ever read, on the other hand your author dust jacket photo with the blue high heels is very nice.
