I decided to read this debut Novel by Tasmina Perry because the jacket description was appealing. I would describe it upon first glance as Chick Lit although later I think this theory will appear slightly incorrect. Tasmina's first novel features the Balcon sisters. Serena, Cate, Camilla and Venetia are used to a world where money can buy you anything but the four sisters are completely different. The four sisters all have different careers. Cate is a magazine editor, Camilla is a barrister, Venetia is a designer and Serena is the spoilt actress. The sisters all love each other despite their differences but all seem united in the one problem they all have, ... Read the complete review

I picked this book up in a book shop in the airport on the way for a holiday in the sun. I was hugely surprised by this book, it's sharp, it's witty and it's all engrossing which is exactly what I wanted from a beach read, I didn't have to think too hard but still got a lot out of the story. I couldn't put this book down and after it was finished I was left thinking about the characters and the story line for days afterwards, which for me is always a good thing about a book - truly memorable. Afterwards I was really looking forward to Tasmina's next book, she's the kind of author who you'll be hooked to for a long time. This book is ... Read the complete review

Finished Daddy's Girls a couple of days ago. It was a prettygood book, I've had the book a little while, and only really got into reading it when on holiday two weeks ago. Great plot of the book, and you really start to know the four sisters in the story, and in the end really sympathise with them. The Balcon sisters all lead a very glamorous lifestyle, and there is plenty of references throughout the book reminding you of that, including one sisters Bentley, Hermes, Chanel, Dior etc collections that they own. The book starts off with their fathers murder, and then goes on to about a year prior to that and what went on, then back to the ... Read the complete review
