Book Description:
A national bestseller in England, this delightful new novel has been called "Frothy, frivolous, and fun." (Harpers & Queen)
Jane, a struggling, twenty-something writer for a glossy women's magazine, has inadvertently just landed her worst nightmare of an assignment. Not only does she have a less-than-satisfying relationship with her boring and cantankerous boyfriend, who has a host of other insecurities, but now her eccentric magazine editor has made her the personal ghostwriter for the town's latest bedazzling, blonde, and busty socialite: Champagne D'Vyne. While Jane reels from the annoying and distasteful business of investigating, and then glamorizing, the vacuous details of Champagne's life, her new assignment suddenly becomes intertwined with her personal life in surprising ways. Will her own romantic prospects broaden? Will she be able to help save her best friend's dilapidated country manor with a matchmaking scheme? At once whimsical and satirical, Simply Divine is already a smash hit in England, and will undoubtedly be a crowd-pleaser for American readers.

Christie C. (I'm usually a fan of Brit Chick Lit. I just wasn't a fan of this book and ended up skimming to finish it. Too wordy (does that make sense??), especially when it came to all the descriptions of Mullions, etc., and the Champagne character annoyed me, even though she did have some funny one-liners, though not enough to hold my interest. Oh, well...
Funny British chicklit. I could identify with the character even though my life is very different from hers.
I really enjoyed this book! It's great chick lit. Jane is a twenty-something journalist who has the usual problems facing a modern woman: job stress, career angst, weight trouble, and an unfulfilling relationship with the man in her life.
To find out how Jane turns her life around, read the book.
Jane is a twenty-something journalist who has the usual problems facing a modern woman: job stress, career angst, weight trouble, and an unfulfilling relationship with the man in her life. Her best friend, Tally, wishes she had a boyfriend, a knight with a gold car, who could ride up and keep her beloved family estate from falling into the hands of greedy developers. Which is about as likely to happen as Jane embarking on a guilt-free, passionate affair with the sexy writer who lives upstairs. Instead, she has just been recruited for the magazine's latest circulation-boosting gimmick: ghostwriting the life and racy time of celebrity socialite Champagne D'Vyne.
Fun read. English...I liked the characters...very human.
