Shoe Addicts Anonymous by Beth Harbison
A fun book about four women, each with their own unique set of problems, who come together because they all love shoes. They form a club with the purpose of trading shoes. But, of course, they end of friends and help each other face their problems.
This one was exactly what you want when you pick up a book that looks like this. It was fun, light and definitely had some funny moments. I’ve previously read Harbison’s Secrets of a Shoe Addict and enjoyed it just as much.
Simply Divine by Wendy Holden
This one was also typical chick lit but with a definite twist. It was also much longer than a typical chick lit novel. There is so much going on in this novel that it’s almost impossible to attempt a summary. Jane, a journalist, has just been dumped by her boyfriend when she meets socialite Champagne D’Vyne and begins ghost-writing her column. Jane isn’t a huge fan of Champagne but she keeps turning up in the most unexpected places. I really enjoyed this one and will probably seek out another novel by Holden the next time I’m in the mood for something light and funny.
Little White Lies by Gemma Townley
I think of the three, I enjoyed this one the most. Natalie, newly moved to London, feels that her life isn’t interesting enough. The previous tenant of her flat still gets mail and phone calls – more than Natalie! After a night humiliation Natalie decides to open one of the more interesting-looking pieces of mail that are sitting around her apartment. It leads to her impersonating the old tenant, Cressida, and of course all of the crazy, funny situations that might lead a person to.
I’ve read a few of Townley’s novels before and I’ve enjoyed each and every one of them. Definitely a good pick when you’re looking chick lit!
