So, this was ok. Sometimes we need an okay novel - a fun storyline where the protagonist is whisked away to become a TV star with a big break…only the big break is in a fantasy world and the viewers are not your everyday people. This reminded me of Jasper Ffordes novels, they enjoyable but, for me, behind the humour of ‘oh, that’s a cute reference’, it’s a little shallow and forgetful afterwards. Anyways, this could be a good holiday read - it’s fun with a cute plot and some interesting characters. Re-reading my review feels a little like this novel - light, feels like it should be saying more than it is but, ultimately, does the job in the end!

Unfortunately, I had to put this book down at 47%. I found it extremely boring. The plot line was very slow which was incredibly disappointing as the beginning had started off so well. Every character at the beginning of the novel had an air of mystery about them, something that made a spark yet as the book went on characters were losing their umph and just became boring and mundane, which I know wasn’t the aim of the book considering its about mythical creatures and the other side.

The plot to the story really intrigued me, which was why I had requested to read the book. It seemed quirky and funny, but the plot fell short of this promise. After reaching the halfway mark I understood the plot and why the characters were behaving like they did, it just didn’t hit the mark for me.

Throughout the novel you are given the different perspectives of the main characters, including Starr, Jason Valentine and Fiona. Fiona, who was supposed to be wicked and mean was just a playground bully in reality and there was no real spark to her character. If anything I dreaded reading those particular chapters and found myself skipping over sentences. Valentine was an interesting character, and his relationship with Starr was the only reason I persevered so long with the book. I genuinely was invested in their relationship until so many other characters started to appear as romantic interests for Starr and it just wasn’t believable.

In terms of comedy there were certainly some funny scenes but it wasn’t rolling on the floor funny. I definitely feel like this book would be targeted towards someone who wants a little pick me up, maybe in a reading slump and looking for something fun and quirky to read. For me, it just didn’t do it.

I love reality tv and reality tv that is set over mutliple worlds and with mythical creatures - umm yes please its like the real housewives on crack. it was a quick and easy read and I loved it.

This was a leisurely read that was a nice break from my regular fast paced thrillers. I love settings that have multiple worlds, and mythic creatures, and this one did just the trick. It followed Star Weatherby as she aspires to be an actor, and finally gets her break on a TV show no one has every heard of…in a different realm. I really enjoyed Star as a main character, she was cute and spunky and knew what she wanted. I’ll admit, some parts were kind of cheesy and I cringed a bit, but overall it was enjoyable.

3.5/5

At a time when my life has gotten a bit extra complicated, I needed to read a book that could make me smile, laugh, and transport me out of the difficult reality we all live in. Tune in Tomorrow did the trick, and I read it quickly and with gusto. Randee Dawn has a wonderful way with words, characters and the creation of a world that is inhabited by some humans and by a lot of "Mythics" (mythical creatures that are not just myth but are a reality in the world that is on the other side of the "veil" which separates the Mythical world from our own... just a quick gate ride away, if you know where the gates are and the times when they are open!) The story takes us into a TV show unlike those on earth. For someone who loves theater and acting, I was 100% in to witness this world of reality TV production, in an alternate world. I loved the characters I was supposed to love and hated the evil ones. I rooted for the underdog and enjoyed immensely every minute I spent with this book. Perhaps Dawn has a sequel up her sleeve? I would be quick to read it, if given the chance. If you are a fan of Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman, you will love Tune it Tomorrow. But don't wait till Tomorrow... grab it today!

Oh my! Where do I start?
Tune in Tomorrow is a highly entertaining and excellent read. The world building was genius level fun, the magical system inventive, and the twists and turns were soap opera worthy.
But what I enjoyed the most was the fantastic play on words. The author mastered the art of pun, knows how and when to deliver them, and use them in the best way.

For anyone who loves a fun and smart modern fantasy novel, and for anyone who has ever enjoyed a TV-show.

Starr Weatherby, a waitress who aspires to become a star, finally lands herself a role after ten years of no luck. She is cast for the longest-running ‘reality’ show Tune in Tomorrow. A show no one ever heard of, but Starr jumps at the opportunity and ends up at the other side of the Veil, joining a cast of humans performing human drama for the mythical world. And like the mortal entertainment industry there are rising stars, demanding executives, fan favorites, and divas who go to any length for fame and fortune.

Overall, a thrilling, funny as hell concept with a lot of un-reality-turns-into-reality. With amazing word play, lovely characters and striking creatures. The Award for Best Supporting Role definitely goes to all the mythical creatures of Tune in Tomorrow.

Thank you NetGalley and Rebellion Publishing for sharing this amazing digital reviewers copy in exchange for my honest review.

DNF at 20%. The writing was pompous and seemed like the author thought way too highly of themselves. It seems like they cared more about writing as many big words as they could think of instead of writing a comprehend-able story.
