All That Glitters

A fantastic read
This was my final read of 2012 and one of my favourites of last year.Footballers Wives was one of my favourite shows so the synopsis for this book immediately made me want to read it and I was full of hope that the book would be good, it wasn't, it was amazing. Ilana Fox is a fantastic author and I can't wait to check out her other work. However I think it'll be hard to beat this book.Ella Aldridge marries Danny Riding and they appear to have the perfect marriage, and they do in every way apart from one, the sex. I thought both characters were great but Ella especially. Unlike a lot of chick lit characters she actually seemed to have something about her and wasn't the usual ditzy character getting herself into all sorts of accidents and trouble throughout the book. This book certainly isn't as 'chick-litty' as most chick lit books.The rest of the characters are also a great mix and just the sort of people you could imagine seeing on Footballers Wives. I loved the character of Johnny and hated the character of Sanchez(?) something like that anyway aka the English Perez Hilton. I also loved Chastity who was another great character. Although parts of the story were obvious there were still plenty of shocks that I didn't see coming.Ilana has a fantastic writing style and I found it so hard to put this book down that it only took me a few hours to read, always the sign of a good book. I cannot recommend this book highly enough and if you were ever a fan of Footballers Wives then you will love this book.

Enjoyable but unmemorable
Enjoyable read. Maybe I have read too many of these books and they are losing their appeal. Book was well written and held its own against similar authors. A month after reading it, I cannot exactly recall what the book was about. I contrast this to other books, which really stand out in my memory. Like I said, I think the problem is me reaching saturation point rather than the book.

The best book I've ever read about a beard
It's been a while since I've indulged in any chick lit (normally these days preferring to read novels that make me look all intelligent on the tube) but having had the author's work come highly recommended, I thought I'd give this one a go. And what a great decision that was... It's a brilliantly written, fun read which should certainly make everyone's summer holiday Kindle reading list. Both girls and guys. Given the author's ties to the tabloid press, I'd love to know who some of these characters were based on...Enjoy.
