Product Description
Product Description
They live in a flat in Hampstead: Bronwen, the trendy clubber; Gail, Alex's infuriating younger sister, a health freak and budding novelist; Keisha, the TV researcher determined not to be fenced in by a relationship. And Alex, our heroine, back in London after being dumped by her glamorous LA boyfriend. Though she's more or less solvent, Alex's life isn't getting any simpler, thanks to her dreary City job, lack of dates and spending money, and her infatuation with her very charming, very married boss. An invitation to the wedding of an old school friend and the brother of her old friend Tom seems like the perfect escape - until super-babe Snowy turns up and sets her cap at the groom, the charming boss turns up with his immaculate wife, and Tom takes it into his head to blame Alex for the ensuing disasters.
From the Author
Venus Envy wrote itself...
I guess of all my books this one is the closest to me; I am rather like Alex Wilde, worrying about my body, my men and my jobs; this is for girls of any age who just feel that everybody around them is having a better time than they are... (you bet they`re really not). I hope you all enjoy reading it the way I enjoyed writing it! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The best cure for PMT since chocolate!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Venus Envy (Paperback)
This book by Louise Bagshaw, had me in stitches from start to finish. It was suprisingly unlike most of her books as it mainly focused itself on comedy, rather than sex and romance, and she actually managed to pull it off!The characters are great and belivable, especially the main character, who makes you realise your not the only girl who goes out with bastards, ladders their tights on the way to work, gets sweat patches on important dates, has a friend that gets all the male attention and the only person whofeels guilty for having a massive chocolate binge after being stood up! The character is actually so unlucky in this story, that it makes you feel a bamned sight better about your own life!! This book had me in stitches for ages and I wish I could be there in real life so I could punch that little sister in the face AND have the "Louise Bagshaw" happy ending!!!!!!!

I am a massive fan of Bagshawe but this book disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Venus Envy (Paperback)
The reason Louise Bagshawe is one of my favourite authors is because her characters are strong, ballsy women who are not afraid to go all out to get what they want. I usually find her books very inspiring and they always make me want to make the most of myself to acheive my ambitions (Well who wouldn't want the lifestyles her heroines have!)However, I found this book to be her weakest effort yet. Alex spends most of the time feeling sorry for herself, waiting to be rescued by her knight in shining armour and I didn't find the other characters very believable either. I did enjoy Venus Envy and it was very funny in places but I much prefer her usual style of writing. I must say I was relieved she did not carry on in the same style as Venus Envy as her next 2 books A Kept woman and When she was Bad are fantastic.

What a book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Venus Envy (Paperback)
This book, I have to say, is brilliant. I took it on holiday to Greece with me and my boyfriend was going mad because I couldn't put it down.
