Blog Tour: The Sunday Girl by Pip Drysdale - Miss Known
Today is the final day on the Blog Tour for The Sunday Girl by Pip Drysdale. My many thanks to Anne Cater and to Simon & Schuster UK for allowing me to be a part on this tour.

Although he decides to take revenge on her for leaving him by posting a sex tape online. From there, we get to know how their relationship was like, how Taylor reacts to this exposure and the plan that will trigger all the events that follow. At first, she can only think about her retaliation for all the humiliation that he made her go through, but the plan starts to change and become a well thought out idea, and that’s when the story pieces itself together and grows into...
