Despite the very young, beach-like cover design, this is actually a sophisticated romp about image changing and the consequences. Our tomboy heroine is forced into a rich and glamorous world, how she copes is the essence of this entertaining, lovely story told with real tongue-in-cheek humour.
The heroine this novel is a tomboy. She loves her Doc Martens, heavy metal, and hanging out with her best friend, Ollie. She may have been born on a Tuesday, but graceful she isn't. However, Lucy's world is about to change. Ollie gets engaged, and her new boss wants her to smarten up. Lucy tries to turn herself into the kind of girl she thinks they want her to be - with hilarious and unexpected results.
