'it's perfect escapist voyeurism' --Glamour Magazine
'The plot is thick with betrayals, artistic fraud and paparazzi stakeouts, it's not based on true life, TP-T says, but the fact that it so easily could be is enticement enough.' --Daily Telegraph

Not having read any chick lit since the late 90s heyday I was expecting this to be based far more on her life under the guise of fiction (hence reading it) rather than a complete work of fiction with a few real life experiences thrown in. It couldn't really decide if it was going to be about the life of an It girl or a thriller and therefore failed to develop roles and subsequent plots effectively for all the characters therein. It was Jilly Cooper Lite. I was also rather surprised at the Daily Mail way in which she talked about substance abuse, surely with her intimate knowledge she could have given a slightly more realistic perspective and kept a tighter editorial consistency - does one get a dependency on or an addiction to coke, both of which are talked about but which aren't the same thing.
Realism aside it was a fun, page turning romp and a great airport buy for a long flight/holiday.

This isn't my usual sort of book but I'm a fan of TPT and fancied a glimpse into her lifestyle. The plot is extremely predictable and lots of the characters are quite one-dimensional but I enjoyed the descriptions of the lifestyles of the super rich and it was a nice escapist piece of nonsense. The only thing bugging me is I presume TPT used the help of a ghost writer (I think she said as much?) but the whole book felt quite amateurish to me so if there was a ghost writer she/he didn't have much of an influence!

Avoid like the plague! Beware, review will reveal novel content, not plot content - as there is none!

I read a lot, on average 2 books a week, and without doubt, this is the worst book I have ever read. I always finish books, however bad they are, but I really struggled with this one. It is shallow, flimsy and has no redeeming features at all. I cringed when reading of Lyric coming across TPT at a party, I mean - come on, really????. Shameless self promotion. The ridiculousness of Philippe made a bad novel worse - is there no end to this chap's talent? Am particularly impressed (not) at his morse code on page 414 - it is amazing how, undetected, he manages to convey detailed instruction to Lyric how to overpower the armed stewardess - it would actually have taken him probably about an hour to spell it all out! More impressive, once they have disabled her and the pilot, disaster is averted as, guess what?, Philippe can fly a plane! Awesome. Even the acknowledgements page managed to annoy me, quote: "Wrapped in my cashmere wrap in my chalet in Switzerland, it occurs to me ........." YUK! I love chick lit, and bought this as it was advertised as such - it is actually an insult to be included in this category. Avoid at all costs!
