so i think its pretty well known that i love chick lit and especially love the shopoholic series. this is the first book ive read by sophie kinsella under her pen name of madeleine wickham. it was chick lit but had a different story, which i liked. the main character, fleur, is a woman in her later years (40s?). she lives her life going from one funeral to the next, shacking up with rich widowers and taking as much as money as she can get from them. (its actually a great idea, lol) fleur ends up actually really liking her latest conquest, and the story twists and turns from there. it was a work of art, the greatest book, or whatever- but i wasnt bored, and i really enjoyed the characters.
