Started: March 17, 2007Finished: March 19, 2007***Only my second by Bagshawe, but similar to the first (Venus Envy) in a few respects (financially disadvantaged woman with poor self-image, working in low-paying but rewarding job, change of job, hyper-attractive yet slightly dodgy boss, extreme change of lifestyle and appearance, male best friend/true love, etc.). Fast-paced, fun, compulsive reading that nonetheless feels a little derivative. Bridget Jones did it better.I bought this book as just a light summer read and that is exactly what it is. You can guess how its going to end from the first few chapters. I found myself so frustrated with the main character as she comes off so stupid and naive its hard to find believable. I would recommend it as a very very light summer read but don't expect much else.
London is not a very nice place...Grace is living the dream. She is in her dream job, lives with her best friend with very cheap rent. Everything is going great... Until Ollie (her best friend) announces he is getting married to his girlfriend Victoria and needs Grace to move out of the house. Not only this Grace also loses her job and realises she is actually in love with Ollie. I found some of the things that happened to Grace a bit unbelievable. If something seems too good to be true then it
Easy going read.
It was a ok read I know from the first few pages how it was going to go girl lives with boy for years moves out and realise she loves the boy and must fight to get him back it was funny in place a nice light read
I loved this book right up until the ending. I mean don't get me wrong I'm all for a happy ending but it seemed too unreal. Like it would never happen and it was slightly weird. But apart from that I really enjoyed it and it struck some chords with me. A tomboy girl who has to 'grow up' and make herself more 'feminine' but in the end shes best just the way she is. Obviously! 7 out of 10
*3.5 stars* Overall, a good story. It has a great mix of bitchy, kind and sleazy characters. The ending was my favourite part - it was so moving and beautiful, it brought me to tears. My only exceptions with this book, is that it was quite slow in the beginning and the quality of the writing was a bit poor. Otherwise, an enjoyable story!
