Do Not Lick the Phones by Britney Bronte

Britney Bronte is on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Do Not Lick the Phones. The book follows Britney and her experiences working as a media psychic. Britney has always been spiritual, but lacked any sort of ambition to hold down a “real” job. When a friend refers her to DayStar TV to work as a TV psychic, Britney gathers up her tarot cards and skyrockets to psychic stardom. She knows some weirdness will come with the territory, but nothing prepares her for the bizarre world that is DayStar TV. The other psychics are slightly loopy, the producer grinds on her nerves, and phone sex operators take calls just down the hall from where Britney is reading her cards. Along the way, Britney learns lessons about friendship and love, psychics and media psychics, and staying true to herself. Britney Bronte is a pseudonym, and much of the book is based on true events. It was fun to read it and try to figure out what was real and what was fiction. Britney’s character is a little clueless, and she really takes readers on an interesting ride. While I did think the book was really funny, there were a few times that it was a little slow, but seemed to skip around a lot. Sometimes I didn’t get that connection to some of the supporting characters, but I really enjoyed the ending. I thought Britney was finally able to find herself, learn to stand up for herself, and everything was tied up nicely. I liked the behind the scenes look at a different world, one that we don’t hear a lot about. Thanks to Britney for going on tour with CLP Blog Tours!
