I have read so many British (and some American) chicklits in the past 4 years I think I am qualified to voice my comments here. If you are looking for a contemporary author such as Sophie Kinsella, Louise Bagshawe Isabel Wolfe, Helen Dunne,or Clare Naylor, then don't even attempt to open this book. This is NOT a chicklit.
