    About this ebook

    Lana prays that the worst is behind her. Following a dose of relationship hell, she flees Greece and staggers into the awaiting arms of a British-based pop star. She resumes a fabulous career and all should be well. But being suddenly single in her flirty thirties proves to be ... mental!

    With a wounded heart, she tries wrapping her head around the new rules of dating. She collides with Russell Brand, Slash, Internet suitors, a vampire, a rock star and a slew of other specimens so disinterested that she presumes herself dead.

    After a string of failed encounters and playing air guitar to the beat of her biological clock, Lana finally discovers just what she needs to tackle and bag that slippery little thing that she desires more than anything else in this world: love.

    Prone to dating disasters? Wait ‘til you clap your eyes on Kickstart My Heart. Madcap hijinx – Famous

    Welcome to the world of the modern man – where women plead for pain, seek out seduction and fall for failures – InPress

    Lana Penrose

    Bestselling author Lana Penrose was born in Sydney, Australia. Her various incarnations have included record company promotions gal, music journalist, MTV producer and personal assistant to an iconic pop sensation known the world over. She also did a brief stint with Simon Cowell. Along the way she moved to Greece and penned the acclaimed bestseller 'To Hellas & Back' as her mind melted. Her second release 'Kickstart My Heart' followed. Both madcap memoirs were originally released through Penguin/Viking. Both were extremely well received. Lana has appeared on national breakfast television and she and her books have featured in Vogue, Cleo, Madison, Famous, Woman's Day, That's Life and numerous newspapers and radio shows. She appeared on stage as part of the Darren Hayes Big Night In tour throughout the UK, Ireland, Sydney and Thailand. She was also a guest speaker on four panels at the prestigious Byron Bay Writers' Festival. With her stories being rife with musical references, a 'Kickstart My Heart' companion CD was released through Universal Music. Today Lana can be found gazing through her window in between writing thought-provoking sentences and wishing that she had a cat. New releases are in the works.

      I think i will have to admit defeat - read about half and found I couldnt care less - put it down and read a few more books inbetween and then picked it back up to try and finish it and still didnt care. A thinly fictionalised autobiography, too self indulgent for me to dredge up any sympathy for her. What could have been funny reads as pathetic, and except for the umtimely death of a friend, ultimately strikes me as an insincere attempt to justify her failure to grow up.A shame because the soundtrack rocks.
