I brought the book a few months ago and have to say it's nothing like the book BUT is just as good if not better!!
I was sceptical at first after hearing bad reviews, and yes the clothes really weren't all that but the acting and story lines kept it fresh, interesting and made me watch all the episodes over two days whenever I wasn't at work!!!
The actors are fantastic and if you love fashion you won't be disappointed, just don't expect clothes from Chanel or Gucci, more customised Primark! BUT it's still fantastic!!!
