Love all thing Sophie Kinsella!! So I decided to branch out and see about these Madeleine Wickham books and boy was I in for a treat. First things first Kinsella and Wickham have a completely different tone of writing, Kinsella tends to be really funny Wickham has a dry humor. With that being said I have really enjoyed reading The Gatecrasher. If you start this book thinking about other works of Kinsella you will be disappointed, so read this with a clear head, like you would treat any new author you are reading.

The main character of the book Fleur is not a good woman, out to get as much money from all different kinds of widowers as she can. But in her path of being a sneaky evil wrong doer she unknowingly helps an entire family get past a lot of emotional issues, and brings them closer. An odd tale about a woman scorned. I would definitely recommend this book to all!
