Ooshie Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 What a good list, kez952! I hope you enjoy the forum. When you said you liked chick lit I was going to suggest I Don't Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson, but I see you have read it already. What about Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro? Blurb on back of book: Audrey Hepburn had it. Grace Kelly had it. Louise Canova does not. Elegance, that is. Nor does she have the answers to get her life, her looks or her marriage back on track. Then one day she discovers a faded hardback in a second-hand bookshop. Elegance, an A-Z of style written by French fashion expert Madame Antoine Dariaux, is a revelation. From Accessories to Zippers, there is nothing that Madame cannot advise upon, including types of husband (and how to manage them) and shopping with girlfriends (don't). When Louise takes the book to heart, her life is transformed. But as her old self begins to disappear, it is clear there is more to true elegance than she bargained for. Looking the part is only the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I love Kathleen Tessaro too! I've read the first three of her books, and have the fourth one on my wishlist I'd love to recommend Alexandra Potter's first two books What's New Pussycat? and Going La La, but unfortunately, she changed publishers after the first three or four books, and they're not easily available anymore but if you come across them in a charity shop or in the library, I think they're great. Going La La is probably my favourite ever chick-lit book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
