Ever wonder what it would be like to be married to a famous movie star? Do you think you’d be able to handle the constant attention, media circus and fame that comes along with it? No matter what your answers to those questions are, you will enjoy Laura Caldwell’s November 2004 RDI novel The Year [...]

Review: Mim Warner’s Lost Her Cool

Expecting a light and glamorous read, I was surprised to discover that this book was actually pretty deep – if you can overcome the froth in the first part of the book.
Meet Meghan Resnick. Things are going OK for her – she is a “coolhunter” at Pravda, (a trend forecasting company), and has recently broken [...]

Review: Wolves In Chic Clothing

There’s nothing like a good book with spoiled, rich characters who have it all and like to flaunt it. We first saw this type of book in “Bergdorf Blondes” (which was a better book than this). With Wolves in Chic Clothing by Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman, it’s a jewelry heiress named Lell Pelham of [...]

Review: Everyone Worth Knowing

Everyone Worth Knowing
by Lauren Weisberger
Hardcover
2005
4/5 Stars
It’s no secret that I love Glamour chick lit and Single City Girl lit, so when a book comes along that falls into both categories, I am usually quick to snatch it up. Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger is such a book.

Review: Beyond The Blonde

Beyond The Blonde
by Kathleen Flynn-Hui

There’s nothing like a refreshingly unique “Working Girl Lit” book where the character has a job other than in the publishing or movie industry. In Beyond the Blonde by Kathleen Flynn-Hui, our main character Georgia has the job of a stylist.

Review: Falling Out of Fashion by Karen Yampolsky

Falling Out of Fashion by Karen Yampolsky was simply one of the best [adult] chick lit novels I have read in quite some time. It is a working-girl chick lit novel, but also falls into the glamour lit category quite easily. The plot revolves around Jill White, a woman who has a magazine [...]
