Anna's boyfriend Seb is impossibly handsome, impossibly rich and generally just impossible. When eventually he dumps her, she vows to give up men and throw herself into her career. Which is how she ends up working for Cassandra. The social climber from hell, Cassandra has a huge house in Kensington, a philandering rock star husband and the spawn of Satan for a son. So when desperate-to-escape Anna meets dashing Jamie, charming heir to a castle in Scotland, she can't believe her luck. And she probably shouldn't...
Tight plotting and controlled technique of a writer poised to become formidable in her field - Sunday Telegraph
There are some fabulous one-liners and A-Fab style send ups of the more ludicrous side of journalism. Great fun - Woman's JournalIt is rare, outside Wodehouse, that comic novels live up to their titles, but SIMPLY DIVINE is just that, to borrow from the Ab Fab critical lexicon. Wendy Holden writes a sort of profiterole prose, with paragraphs so funny and readable you worry about their calorie content - The Sunday TimesJust the thing if you need something frothy, frivolous, and fun - Harpers & QueenLiterary equivalent of a post-Christmas-lunch box - Marie-ClaireWell observed and witty - The MirrorWickedly witty - EsquireWitty, well-observed, with some jolly super, quite unforgivable, puns - Mail on SundayNumber one bestselling author Wendy Holden has written ten consecutive Sunday Times Top Ten bestsellers.
