Welcome to my tour stop for Just Pru by Anne Pfeffer. This is a review tour and runs February 16-27th. Just Pru releases March 2, 2015. Check out the tour page for more information.
About the Book:
When twenty-five-year-old Pru Anderson—braless, pajama-clad, and clutching her cat, Chuck—is rescued from her burning Los Angeles apartment, the thing that scares her most is meeting the neighbors. New people make her hide in the bathroom, counting by sevens, but when her home is destroyed, she must turn strangers into friends … or crawl back to the controlling parents she only recently escaped.
What would her idol, Pepper Hathaway, do? That’s a no brainer: the detective-slash-supermodel heroine from Pru's favorite TV series would take no prisoners while looking fierce in a tankini and stilettos. So when the chance comes up to live with playwright Ellen, Pru sets aside her fears and goes for it.
Thus begin the adventures of a girl who's never had a job, a friend, or a first kiss. Swept into Ellen's whirlwind life, Pru begins to build her own, as director's assistant for a new play, muse to brooding actor Blake, and possible love interest to adorably neurotic neighbor, Adam.
Only one thing can derail Pru's exhilarating journey. Well, actually, it's two things—and they're in a car headed straight for LA to torpedo her life. When the past that nearly destroyed her comes calling, who will she be: a Prudence or a Pepper?

Cover talk
By Anne Pfeffer
As it came time to design a cover for my fourth book, Just Pru, I
decided to make a few changes. All of my books are contemporary YA or
New Adult novels about coming of age. I decided to design a set of
covers that tied them together and presented them as a set.
I hired Brooklyn designer Laura Duffy and was thrilled with what she came up with.

Here’s a word from Laura on how she created the Just Pru cover.
