Simply Irresistible: Trailer Premiere and Contest

The book isn't available until July 7th, but the trailer for SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE, the third book in Jennifer Banash's Elite series, is hot off the presses.

  1. My life would make a good reality show for those suffering from insomnia. It would be so boring they would go right to sleep. So I'm glad to help.

  5. My life would make a good reality show about life with college kids. A telephone call every day with a new crisis that ONLY Mom can solve!!

    Example...I have to be in traffic court on the same day as my first exam. The professor says I can't take it early. What can I do. Do you have ab extra &234.00 I can borrow??? I promise this was just this past week!!!!

    I follow.

    The trailer was neat! I loved the cityscapes.

  6. My life would make a good reality show for those that like to watch people doing stupid things. By that I mean not purposly doing something stupid like setting yourself on fire, but standing to close to someone with a lighter while spraying hairspray on your hair - that's how me and my friends can be someday.

    Now let me have an OMG moment of how much I love that trailer! The music, the clips, it was awesome!

    I follow Jennifer's blog too

  11. Who wouldn't want to watch the glamorous life of a writer on TV? Sweatpants and Cheetos and blog-surfing. Plus I totally drop the f-bomb, like, once a week. Glamourous AND edgy!

    Oh, and LOVED the trailer, it completely sold me on the book!!!

  17. My life at this moment isn't made for great tv - not enough drama. A few years back, however...I was living and working in Singapore, went on a cruise in Australia/New Zealand with my parents and met my husband who worked on the ship...Add in a few great and fun friends with the prerequisite self-absorbed, dysfunctional crazies and it would have been a blockbuster!

  19. Lovely contest! :)

    My life as a reality show? Haha. I think it would work well. I packed my bags in the middle of the night to escape a nasty situation and take my first flight to a place halfway across the world to see if my one-year relationship online with a wonderful man (to whom I'm now married) would last in the 'real world'.

    Tee hee. And that's just the beginning of my story.

  20. My life would make a good reality show because I have horrible luck in the dating world, so if people saw how horrible my luck was and the types of guys I seem to find it would make others realize how great there own life is LOL. Thanks for the chance!

  22. My life is about as interesting as watching paint dry but that's as interesting as some TV shows.

    I can't comment on the trailer since I can't see it with my slow connection but with what other people have said, it must be good.

  23. Um, I don't think my life would really make a good reality show. People would get too bored and quit watching. Hey, just stating the facts. That trailer was totally awesome, BTW!

  25. Firstly just loved the trailer. That was one of my favourite songs growing up and I can even remember the video to it with Trevor Horn. It changes quite dramatically in the middle though, doesn't it. Giving a scary feeling to it.

    My life would make a good reality show because I am always getting myself into trouble. I am one of those people who generally does not think before she speaks and just ends up causing trouble without thinking.

  27. My life would be a great reality show because it's not just me that has a fast paced life but my family too. I know someone who is married to someone 25 years older than them, I have a neurotic neighbor that might have a crush on my husband since she can't change her own light bulb. Both my parents are foreign and my in-laws are never on my side.

    I'm not usually into mean/elite girl novels, but I must admit that the trailer got me interested. I also am always in the need to expand my reading material. Loved the trailer and well, it convinced me into looking into the book now didn't it?

  32. My life would make a good reality show... or a good sitcom. I sometimes feel like I am living a weird sitcom. I live with people who don't speak my language, we share very different cultures, and I spend most of my time confused and out of the loop.

  35. My life would be a great reality show as It would have to be shot in my home which somedays resembles a Zoo for humans.. There is never a dull moment. Anything goes..We have great fun most of the time, between the little kids, middle sized kids, and ADULT kids in my life, the dog, the cat, and any other cast of characters who stop by life is never DULL..

  40. Currently, my life would NOT make a good Reality show! I work, Read, and take care of my little family! BORING!
    BUT if I HAD to make a reality show, I would probably spice it up a bit and instigate more fights with my husband just to prove him wrong to the rest of the world. I would also THOROUGHLY enjoy bashing my loser brother and HIS family to the world and make all his loser friends realize what a jerk and a thief he is.

  44. Well, I think it's about time we saw librarians on reality TV, so that's why my life would be a great TV show. You could watch me recommend books to teen readers and read and blog-so fun, right?:)

    -I love that the trailer uses Video Killed the Radio Star (love that song) and I loved how the music stopped for dialog-it changed things up and made it different.

  45. Oh, enter me for sure. This is an amazing contest.

    Why my life would make a good reality show? I'm not sure it WOULD, but if you're a geek...you might like it. LOL My friends are all geeky in some way and so random and drama (in some way) is usually happening. We also get kicked out of parks every now and then...hahah


    -I'm already following your blog!

    -The trailer is amazing. I love the music, great song pick, and the dialogue is just amazingg. It really made me interested in the novel and that's great! One of the best trailers I've seen for books.

  46. You wanna bet about my life being a TV series or not? So many people have said this to me, I've lost count.

    It's irritating and I don't wish it on aneone.

  58. My life would make a good reality TV show because I talk and read a lot so I can prolly do a pretty good commentary, and because I am fated to have the most bizarre experiences ever (e.g., I tore my knee ligament while in the mall once and I had to sort of crawl on the aisles because I COULDN'T WALK; I once saw an albino rat on the way home; and I also once boarded a train and it just stopped without notice and then smoke was filling the cabin and people were panicking and thinking of bombs and...you get my drift. I get those experiences all the time).

    I can also deliver on the Life Lessons: don't be a tool, save your money, and that sort. Parentals would love that! Ahaha.

    I do hope I'm not too late though.
