Morning Glory
Morning Glory: A Novel | Diana Peterfreund
2 posts | 2 read
Now a major motion picture from Paramount Pictures BREAKING NEWS: Ambitious young TV producer Becky Fuller is fired from a local morning show in New Jersey, and her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Desperately in need of a job, yet still full of boundless optimism, Becky vows to land on her feet and stumbles into an opportunity at Daybreak, a floundering network morning news program in New York City. Abysmal ratings are only the tip of the iceberg: Executive producers seldom survive beyond the next commercial break, and the outdated cameras belong in the Smithsonian. Promising the head of the network that she can reverse the downward spiral, Becky makes legendary newscaster Mike Pomeroy an offer he cant contractually refuse. She successfully adds Pomeroy to the team, but he refuses to participate in any Daybreak fluff pieces and morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion, and crafts. Whats more, he takes an instant dislike to his equally difficult co-anchor, Colleen Peck, a former beauty queen.The only bright spot in Beckys career is Adam Bennett, a gorgeous fellow producer, but Daybreaks dysfunction spells trouble for their blossoming relationship. As Mike and Colleens on-air chemistry proves more explosive every day, Becky must scramble to save her love life, her reputation, her job, and, ultimately, Daybreak itself. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Kaila-ann The movie was cute, had no idea there was a book. 5y
MaleficentBookDragon @Kaila-ann after looking at it closely, the book came AFTER the movie. 5y
Kaila-ann @MaleficentBookDragon in that case, probably not missing much lol. 5y

#Rocktober #MorningGlory I'm not that familiar with this Oasis song so the first things that came to mind for today's prompt were this movie & the Morning Glory muffins I used to buy, make, eat... 😋It turns out there was actually a book that's a dramatization of the movie but I don't know that I'd bother reading it. Although it was cute, I didn't find the film a 'wow'-even given my fondness for Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, & Rachel McAdams.📚🎬

TsundokuAleax I will say that as someone who works in morning news, this was far too real. I enjoyed it and probably need to watch it again once I get out of the business. 7y
DebinHawaii @TsundokuAleax I liked it but didn't love it but I imagine with your background and work it would hit home. 👍 7y
Cinfhen Muffin is looking just about perfect 🏆 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen It does! I confess I didn't make this one--I found the pic on The Food Channel. 😆😋 7y
