Life Observed: reality meets fiction
Life Observed is all about friends, family, marriage, life in Los Angeles slightly fictionalized to protect the innocent, the not so innocent and author so she doesn't get sued.

More Than This, Margo Candela's first novel with Touchstone, was chosen as an American Association of Publishers BookClub selection. Her second, Good-bye To All That was selected by Los Angeles Magazine for its 2010 Best of L.A. list.

Praise for Good-bye To All That:

"Combines a cunning wit with a deep understanding of the office politics specific to create a frantic atmosphere and a near breathless momentum as the story barrels toward an ending that's anything but a focus grouped happy fade-out." –Publishers Weekly

"Captures the ups and downs of Hollywood in an appealing send-up of the cutthroat side of the industry." –Booklist

"A gutsy marketing assistant tries to play ball with the big boys while also pedaling wildly to keep her neurotic family afloat in this breezy novel. Candela delivers witty prose and a tantalizing portrayal of office politics." --Los Angeles Magazine

Praise for More Than This:

"...full of promise..." --Library Journal

"Candela writes an unconventional falling-in-love story
about two people whose paths cross but never meet...[readers]
will be charmed by its many bittersweet, humorous and true-to-life moments." --Booklist

"If you love will-they-or-won't-they-meet books, then you'll find this is more than bliss." --Chicklit Club
