Format:Hardcover
It feels like ages since the last Manby book...although maybe it's just ages since I've read one of hers. Either way, this was worth the wait. Whilst the first few pages made me think "Oh no - posh birds that I can't relate to" it quickly became clear that all isn't as it seems in the beach town of Little Elbow in the good old US of A. A mix of Desperate Housewives and Cinderella, it's a cracking good read with plots, twists and turns that made this a pleasure to kick back and enjoy. When the Grosvenor sisters rent out Rose House for the Summer, Queen of Suburbia Marcella's nose is put out of joint as one by one, the eligible bachelors of Little Elbow line up to woo the sisters. Marcella is a hateful creature and very very funny and I really liked the feisty Charity Grosvenor, but to be honest, found Grace a touch dull in comparison.

although readable this isnt one of Chris Manby's best. Was a bit unbelievable and I was unable to related much to the characters. Hope to see more of her old style in future.

I couldn't put this book down, I was up till 5 am reading it. Yes, it is a little contrived but there are some wonderful characters. Two English gold diggers rent a house in the exclusive Hamptons, next door to the uber-bitchy Marcella. The girls try to bag themselves a wealthy man, but it appears the wealthy men targetted are rather lacking in social skills. Some amusing situations and nice twists, as the girls try to bag a catch and the Hamptonites try to find out more about the girls.

Really funny
Read recently, really funny social satire. Chris Manby is like the Brontes and Austen of the modern age.
