*Introduction* Having read all of Louise Bagshawe's previous books, Glitz is another one that I reserved from my local library before it was released. She was the first author of chic lit that I read and has got me well and truly addicted to it. Despite reading a variety of reviews saying that they were disappointed with the book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. *About the Author* Louise Bagshawe, 37 was born in London.

Louise specialises in chick literature, something which I believe her to be one of the best in her field at. She is also a ...  Read the complete review

Glitz is the eleventh novel from author Louise Bagshawe. The version I read was the hardback which I managed to mooch from Bookmooch. Im not going to go into the authors background, but if you are interested then check out my review on her previous book Glamour.

Another corker from the brilliant Louise Bagshawe, Glitz tells the story of the four super rich Chamber girls. Snobbish Juno and her sister the scruffy academic Athena along with their cousins beautiful but lazy Diana and wannabe actress Venus, are all dependent on a trust fund set up by the reclusive and mysterious Uncle Clem.
