About this deal

I enjoyed the other characters but I felt we didn't get to know them as well as we should have, such as Jay and Lauren. It would have been good to have discovered more about them especially since they were the best friends of the sisters. Next, Seffy. I don't have any words why she keeps following Nicole Balfour, like she could've said 'No, I will not do that for you' 'No, I hate that (whatever you have)' she has opinions, but she probs afraid of what Nicole would do if she said em aloud. I'm glad that Seffy is Lizzy's friend in the end, life finally she's out of Nicole's hair. I definetly agree with Lauren keeping an eye out at Seffy, cuz she don't trust her completly. I mean Seffy just completly came at Lizzy's flat and told her everything Nicole planned on the families, I'd say half sus but also half friendly, cuz she doesn't like Nicole too. A lovely warming Christmas read. Full of sparkle, and love. I instantly liked Amber and found her a great main character. Amber is a sweet lovely girl with a heart of gold that makes a few mistakes like us all and had to make up for them. She loves her friends and family. She is guts and bulsey and a great main character.

In fact it is a very enjoyable and entertaining story, focusing around the fashion industry and about what happens when you start to get a bit of press interest. These are clearly subjects that the author is going to know a lot about, and it does show in the way the story comes across.Very easy to read and impossible to put down; hence I read it in 15 hours (8 of which I was sleeping, then others spent cleaning house, preparing a family breakfast and the joy of Saturday swimming lessons at the local pool). Then Amber meet someone an American heartthrob who shows her the glittering sights of an ilustrious career can bring. I wasn't particularly blown away by the men of the story, they both did their fair share of lying to the girls but overall they were perfectly nice. Three or four drinks,” her voiceover tells us over scenes of her downing about that number of limoncello shots as the night starts, “and I’m sociable, fun and I can function the next day. Any more and I don’t know when to stop. I’d go so far as to say I can’t stop.” As driven and ambitious as she is, she notes, it’s the one thing she can’t seem to control.

To me this book had a real ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ feeling. It was a good read and different than my normal reads. The romance wasn’t really what I hoped it would be, but in the end it was really good and perfect for Amber’s character. I did think this book was a bit too long when I was half way through. I think this book would have been just as good if a view parts were left out. Most of the book I enjoyed very much but it lost me a bit with some of the minor or secondary characters who I did not like nor believe in. The sisters themselves were a great duo. Lizzie is the one who is unable to hold down a job or boyfriend and is just floating through life with no real responsibilities. I found the idea for the show really interesting, adding this competitive bit really gave the story a bonus spark as you were never sure which contestants were acting for the sake of the public and which ones were being genuinely themselves. Also, as the show gained popularity, you could see all the changes in them. Especially on Issy, you could say that the fame went to her head and she started forgetting about her family and friends and focusing a bit too much on the show and her fans. For a moment there, I wasn't sure I like her anymore. But I guess that it must be difficult to stay true to yourself when everyone starts adoring you and you cannot even go to the loo without it making to the news. The only downer that I have of this book is that the front cover, title and bio promise me a wonderfully festive read. However there is only a little bit that is set over the festive period. Which is a little bit of a let down. As I was looking forward to curling up with a delicious Christmas read. But nethertheless this is still a very sweet bookA perfect summer read: full of sunshine and light breezes with occasional thunderstorms that clear up with rainbows at the end. Overall, this book was a really fun ride for me, even though there wasn't enough of and Lizzy and Justin, theyre my fav couple in the book. The way they works things out is my fav, like they are complicated apart but together, they're like bubblegum (inseparable). Meanwhile Lizzie -slapdash, fun-loving, loyal, wild, yet insecure- who is without a job, a flat or a boyfriend, feels left out in the cold.
