I'm a third of the way through this book and I'm already irritated by it. Bagshawe shows again her penchant for not proof reading her books (as in Glamour, where the book mentioned using Ebay years before it was invented). Among the multiple errors in this book are: on p100 Marcus Broder clearly states that Kate earns 40,000 a year at Cutie, yet after they divorce on p145 Emily makes it clear that "even though it's not a big glossy like [Kate was] used to" they can still pay her 40,000 dollars. Kate is shown to be disappointed and it is said that "Forty thousand is a pay cut, even from what she was getting at Cutie". This is a best selling novel with a wide distribution, how can they ignore such glaring errors in consistancy? It's stupid and unrealistic. We then have such gems as "she was in the Gap and Emporio Armani, buying all the basics of a work wardrobe" (p 147). This is after she divorces her rich guy and is plumbing the depths of poverty by the way. So apparently Emporio Armani, where jackets start at 600 pounds, and GAP, our trusty high street retailer, are now the same thing, and "basic" at that. I think Louise Bagshawe needs to stop spending her paycheck on Kiehl's, and start spending it on a decent researcher who can tell her what brands are up to date and how much they cost, not to mention an editor who actually edits out glaring errors.

I LOVE Louise Bagshawe books and have read them for many years, however, I was disappointed with this one.
It has all the standard Bagshawe hallmarks-America, adversity, rich men, women taking control- but it seemed to miss a trick.
The last few books have been excellent but this smacked of her earlier works where her style had not been polished. To me it felt very much like a rehashed early book with a few modern refernces thrown in.

Having admired Louise Mensch's performance in the telephone hacking enquiry, I thought I would try her out as a novelist. Alas and alack!! Probably it was no worse than any other so-called "chick-lit", but I discovered one thing - I am not an admirer of the genre!! Such a superficial, trivial plot and characters, and the inevitable sex, sex, sex, I won't be trying any more! I am sure Louise has a mind far more intelligent and competent than that revealed in this book, and I hope she will now just concentrate on her political work, in which I wish her the very best of luck!

Boring
One of the most boring books I've ever read. After reading it I can't really summon the energy to write anything else.

too similar ti A Kept Woman
I have been a Louise Bagshaw fan ever since I read my first book. Sorry to say I was rather disappointed with Destiny. For me the plot was too similar to A KEPT WOMAN. Read more

Designer labels, designer bodies, shallow lives
This was also my first Louise Bagshawe book, I'm more into Russian literature than chick lit, but you know, Tolstoy didn't get where he did without a few designer breeches - and... Read more
