After graduating from McGill University, Kara Alloway was hired by Conde Nast's Allure Magazine in Los Angeles. Under the tutelage of founder Linda Wells, Kara worked as the assistant West Coast Editor. She quickly became known for her contributions, sharing her perspective on the world of fashion and beauty with a journalistic approach, investigating topics with candor and objectivity. Kara was recruited back to Canada and became editor-in-chief of Ingenue Magazine, which, under her direction, had the fastest growth in circulation among Canadian publication history for the teen target demographic. In addition, Kara hosted a daily fashion and beauty radio show, interviewing with such icons as Stella McCartney, Laura Mercier, Phoebe Philo, Zac Posen, Diane Von Furstenburg, Bob Mackie and Oscar de La Renta. In 2017 Kara appeared in the Toronto franchise of The Real Housewives of Toronto. Kara innately understood the workings of reality television content and carried the show, prompting several journalists reviewing the franchise to ask, ""Without Kara would there even be a show?""
Kara Alloway is an incredibly talented author. Most Hated had me declining calls and ignoring texts. Alloway creatively portrays the thoughts, feelings, and actions of those involved in reality television production in this brilliant tale of deception and manipulation. Alloway gives readers a behind-the-scenes perspective only a former reality TV participant could convey. A remarkable tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. KATHY HILTON, Reality Television Star/Real Housewives of Beverly Hills A hugely heartfelt and hopelessly addictive novel about female friendships. This multi-faceted story, where the lives of so-called 'friends' are irrevocably interconnected, will leave you feeling like you have just read about your own life. Most Hated is most definitely a must-read. JILL ZARIN Reality Television Cast member/Real Housewives of New York City/Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip This is 'eye-ball' entertainment at its finest. Most Hated has all the drama, glamor, and fun of reality tv but on the page. JOHN STEVENS/Reality TV Producer, Venture 10 Studio Group Deliciously racy, sassy, and gossipy -- with sensational plot twists -- that left even me, a reality television OG, shocked to the core! Alloway has created a feisty and intoxicating 'cast' of characters, each with their own motivation for wanting to participate in the newest hottest reality show. Most Hated is the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the rich and famous with glamorous dinners and fabulous fashion. But it is also a reminder that all that glitters is not always gold. VICKI GUNVALSON, Real Housewives of Orange County/Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Kara Alloway not only gives readers a rare and unique personal insight into the dark corners of reality television in this highly entertaining, fun, and readable debut novel, but I become so engrossed with the characters and their storylines, it was like watching a movie. Trust me, you will inhale this book and then rethink everything you thought you knew about reality television. ALICIA QUARLES/Entertainment Correspondent, E!/The Daily Mail If you are a Housewives fan then THIS is the book you've been waiting for!! Seriously. Hard. To. Put. Down! LEEANNE LOCKEN/Real Housewives of Dallas Kara Alloway shows reality is truly never reality, especially when the cameras are rolling. When three women try to change their lives by entering the unrelenting but aspirational world of a popular reality show, Talk of the Town, they quickly find they had no idea what they really signed up for. With make-ups, break-ups, and manipulation all on the menu, someone needs to be the villain. Who will win the title of most hated in this exceptionally smart novel, with shocking twists and turns? You'll have to read to find out! And you won't be disappointed. My guess is Most Hated will be the 'Most Talked' about for a very, very long time. MELISSA PFEISTER, Nameste B$tches Podcast
