About Watching Willow Watts
by Talli Roland
For Willow Watts, life has settled into a predictably dull routine: days behind the counter at her father's antique shop and nights watching TV, as the pension-aged residents of Britain's Ugliest Village bed down for yet another early night. But everything changes when a YouTube video of Willow's epically embarrassing Marilyn Monroe impersonation gets millions of hits after a viewer spots Marilyn's ghostly image in a frame.
Instantly, Willow's town is overrun with fans flocking to see the 'new Marilyn'. Egged on by the villagers -- whose shops and businesses are cashing in -- Willow embraces her new identity, dying her hair platinum and ramming herself full of cakes to achieve Marilyn's legendary curves.
But when a former flame returns seeking the old Willow, Willow must decide: can she risk her stardom and her village's newfound fortune on love, or is being Marilyn her ticket to happiness?
I was lucky to receive a review copy of Watching Willow Watts. And loved it. Such a warm, fun read that you will smile bigger than Dolly's......well......you fill in the blank!

Dolly Parton!!! I haven't seen her in a long time.
You're the second one I've seen blogging about this book. Talli's stories seem so fun! I hope to read one someday.
Aw, I don't know why Dolly surprised me at first, but you're absolutely right---she's a sweetie with a big heart (among other things, hehehe)
I just saw this book on someone else's blog, looks intriguing.
Wow! What a great sounding book! I'm definitely putting that on my TBR pile!
At first I thought, "Really? Dolly??" and then, of course! Really, is there any happier person, anyone who could make you just feel good? And her generosity is of the heart, time, and pocketbook. She's a winner!
Dolly's a great person and she does make you want to smile.
Oh, yes, I love Dolly, too. This book sounds like a ton of fun!
I'd be myself--I like me!
You're right! Dolly does make me smile!
I love Dolly! She's very successful and savvy. Great choice!
Thank you so much, Lynn, for taking part -- and for all your help and support, and especially for reading and reviewing Willow! I really appreciate it!
Great choice. I used to love watching her show and movies.
I adore Dolly! She seems like such a wonderful, genuine person and her sense of humour is awesome!
sounds like a terrific storyline and i absolutely love the cover. good luck to talli:)
She hasn't changed much in thirty-plus years!
I've always liked Dolly Parton. Didn't know about that library project though.
Talli's book sounds so fun! I need to get it.
And Dolly is fun. I can't even picture her without a smile. :D
