I so enjoyed this glamorous, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek American “It” girl romp. It gives you the vocabulary and stamping ground of the super rich tied round a charming finding Mr Right tale as an English chic breathlessly relates her adventures. Such fun. Comparison: Alison Pearson, Candace Bushnell, Sophie Kinsella. Similar this month: Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin, Sheila O’Flanagan.
