“More twists and turns than an especially complex maze”
Released August 2015 All Tomorrow’s Parties is a journey through life and love. Laine Marshall isn’t a product of the 1980’s she is the epitome of it. 18 years of age and working for one of the hippest labels around Vestal records. She takes the day to day hedonism of working for Vestal in her stride and experiences every emotion under the sun except the one she craves the most – love.
She has a DJ boyfriend Danny she ‘likes’ and a music editor lover Tony ‘she could love’, but no smack bang between the eyes kind of love. That is until a chance encounter in Italy sets her pulse racing and her heart in pieces. With her life turned upside down she tries to navigate towards love with tragic consequences. Someone is trying to derail her happiness but who and why? Can her heart be broken and rebuilt?
Set against a backdrop of pop culture All Tomorrow’s Parties details what it’s like for a young girl entering the workplace for the first time. Into a world that for all its forward thinking is still struggling with the changing role of women and flavours of this are peppered throughout the book.
It is a story about the inception, development and completion of love. Sometimes you have to play the cards you’ve been dealt and hope. Hope that there is more than making do, hope that with every set back you grow taller and stronger 18 year old LAINE MARSHALL exemplifies hope.
A sample of some of the 5 star reviews:
“Highly entertaining heady brew of romance and thriller which twists and turns and keeps you hooked all the way through”
“Fantastic read and thoroughly engaging into the emotional roller-coaster of Laine Marshall’s life. Being an 80’s girl I could picture the clothes & could the hear the music too! Incredible twist after twist towards the end, which I didn’t see coming. Read over 2 days on the sun lounger – perfect holiday book. Agree it would make a fantastic film. Thank you Nicole Fitton and looking forward to another one…”
