Format:Hardcover
I have devoured Louise Bagshawe's novels ever since receiving "The Movie" free with a magazine. Her style has grown up with her and the slightly embarrassing sex scenes of her earlier books are gone. What I love about this book (and the previous one Monday's Child) is the down to earth nature of her characters. They are immesely likeable and the research is done very well. You can tell that Louise has researched her material well (I loved the references to Star Wars Galaxies which my computer loving husband has confirmed was spot on!). She knows her London locations well despite living in America. (Although being a South Londoner I found myself asking why the character gets out at Kennington when her office is at the Oval. These are chick-lit books for those who hate the slightly tacky American ones on the market but aren't quite old enough to be perusing the large print romantic section quite yet! The gist of the theme is "ugly duckling into swan", and it is a Cinderella grown up fairy story for shopaholics. It is brought to life through Metallica t-shirts and the careful application of some nail extensions. Anyone who loves credit cards and a good romance will love this. Genius!

I read this book because I wanted something light and easy - it is unfair to expect more from it. As such it is extremely enjoyable and good fun - just right for the beach or commute!

Tuesday's Child is a mediocre enjoyable chick-lit book, but after the promising beginning, the very predictable end leaves you disappointed.
The plot falls within the nothing-new-under-the-sun category. Tomboyish girl doesn't know she's in love with her best and flatmate the kind and handsome Oliver. Oliver thinks she doesn't care for him and dates other, more feminine females, the last of whom proposes him successfully. Lucy has to move out and find a new job. In her new job - after some considerable, but for the reader, not too convincing change of life-, hair and other styles - her rich, gorgeous (or so it seems) boss tries to hit on her. Lucy - oh blessed, blonde naivety! - doesn't notice how he tries to change every single thing in her and that he is just too good to be true...
Somehow everybody and everything is a bit too-too to make you believe it. Victoria, Oliver's fiancée, is too vicious and snooty, Oliver is too unsuspecting, Todd is too slimy and easy to look through for everybody but Lucy and co. And Lucy is too tomboyish, but than with a snap she changes and just in an afternoon she finds out how to dress and apply make up. Not credible at all. Somehow the story, as are its characters, is lame.

A light hearted read which held my attention. It is a typical Louise Bagshaw novel - one that can be taken on holiday or shared with friends.
