I decided to get this book when I was looking for holiday reads. It was in the two for seven pounds deal at Asda so i decided to give it a go. Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend is a book by Jenny Colgan who is one of the most popular chick lit writers. The story in the book is based around the main character Sophie. When we meet Sophie she is a very priviledged young lady. She has been brought up in a big house with a maid, getting everything she ever wanted. She lost her mother at the young age of 11 and her Dad married a new lady who Sophie never really warmed too. She was sent away to boarding school where she met lots of friends who were equally as well ...  Read the complete review

***The Plot*** Sophie has lots of money, courtesy of her indulgent father. She doesn't need to work (although she has an unofficial internship to a fairly famous photographer) and loves to party with her equally annoying friends.

When I go on holiday there is nothing I like more than a good chick lit book and I was very relieved when I got to the villa we were renting to find a huge selection just waiting for me to delve into! Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend was the perfect book for this occasion - not one I would have chosen myself having read one of Jenny Colgan's previous offerings, West End Girls, and found it not especially gripping, but one that I was more than happy to pick up to read around the pool while toasting myself a nice golden brown. Sophie Chesterton is your typical spoiled rich girl, having been indulged by her wealthy Dad after her Mum passed away when she was ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved reading and I have a selection of authors that I always read as I find their books perfect for me in terms of their style of writing. I recently went on a little spending spree due to winning a little bit of money and finally bought a load of new books that I have wanted for ages. One of them was this one which I actually bought the day it was released onto paperback (not done that in sooooo long and it felt good!) and by the next day I had finished it as once again a book written by Jenny Colgan was just so easy to read and quick to get into! The author: Jenny Colgan is an English author who now lives in ...  Read the complete review
