This was a great read .. but be warned, it's the same book as Monday's Child. I was so disappointed to find that instead of enjoying another Louise Bagshawe book, I'd actually gone and bought the same one again - but under a different name.

The Go To Girl is my first Louise Bagshawe book, and I loved it! If you like Katie Fforde, you'll love this. According to other reviewers, this book is dissimilar to Bagshawe's books about young, beautiful career women in that it has an underdog heroine (overweight, big nose, tall, thinks she's ugly)and a genuine love story and happy ending. It was right up my alley. If you like women's fiction with bite, sarcasm, beautiful ball-busting heroines climbing the corporate ladder, I think you'd better skip this one. While Anna, the main character, does eventually get the guy and have career success along the way, she has a negative perspective on her own appearance, exaggerating how ugly and unattractive she is. So her process of growth in the book starts way behind other, more attractive and successful heroines. Anna's (or Bagshawe's) take on beautiful women is so right on. They get more attention, more people ready to accede to their every demand, better service, more advantages in life than their uglier sisters. I loved Anna, who is more of a Bridget Jones character, and Mark Swan, the hero. Yum. Fun story, lots of plot from beginning to end.

A well paced novel which manages to hold one's interest for a long time. It falls very clearly into the typical escapist novels, but has the edge on many. Ideal holiday reading.
