Advantages: the new Jackie Collins!!

Disadvantages: none

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. All they have to do for the money is turn up every Christmas to his place in the Seychelles and pretend to like each other for 2 weeks.

But when he summons them unexpectedly to the Seychelles the girls smell trouble. And they are right - he announces his engagement to the very young Bai-Ling - and also announces that as she will be his wife, she will get his cash - no more trust fund for the girls!!

Returning to London, the girls set about trying to stop the wedding and therefore protect their trustfunds so they dont have to get a job (heaven forbid!!) - but in doing so actually find that they become close and shock horror, enjoy their new found careers and independence. Could they be more than spoilt trust fund brats?

Add some twists and turns regarding the truth about Uncle Clem, a good dash of glamorous rich London and some sexy male interest, and you have got a classic Bagshawe beach read.

I wont tell you anymore about the book, its a good and fun read to find out for yourselves, I read it in about 2 days! You can pick it up for under £4 in a supermarket in paperback.

I just think Bagshawe is class - I started reading her books when she gave away her first novel (Careers Girls) with a magazine and have been hooked ever since. I think she is the natural successor to Jackie Collins throne, and I mean that in a good way!

Summary: A Glitzy jewel of a beach read
