I ended up having 2 copies of this book. I had bought it a while back as I am a fan of this author - Madeline Wickham is the real name of the author Sophie Kinsella, so after reading all Sophie's books then I started to search for the ones under Madeline which there are a few. I don't find them as enjoyable as the Shopaholic books as they are a little different in reading style, but I still like them nonetheless. Anyway how did I end up with 2 of the same book? Well as I stated I bought 1 of them, but I got the other one free when I bought Mini Shopaholic when it came out on Paperback. So 2 books for under £4 was good for me. The book is about 2 seperate ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of the 2010 book 'Sleeping Arrangements' by Madeleine Wickham, who is also well known as the Shopaholic series author Sophie Kinsella. In her foreword, she explains that Madeleine Wickham is her real name. I guess her other series is so well known she has a good reason to maintain two identities!

Sleeping Arrangements is written by Madeline Wickham, who you may know as Sophie Kinsella. She writes this book (and many others) under her real name (Wickham) to differentiate between her "Shopaholic" novels and her other fiction. This is explained in the foreword. I bought this book along with a Shopaholic book in a 2-pack from Asda for £2. I believe the normal retail price is around £4.99 but obviously this varies from shop to shop and when on offer. I am a big Shopaholic fan and love Kinsella's other books, so thought I'd give this a go along with the Shopaholic book. So what is the book about? Well we meet 2 families. One family is ...  Read the complete review

This book is written by the more well known chick lit author Sophie Kinsella but she wrote some books many years ago through the name Madeleine Wickham. She says on the inside cover of this book that the style of the book is written in a different way to the style she writes in as Sophie Kinsella. I really enjoyed reading this book. I do prefer the books by Sophie Kinsella writing as Sophie Kinsella but the Madeleine Wickham ones are good as well. The plot of this book is based around a holiday home in Spain, whereby a man who doesn't feature much in the book called Gerard lets his holiday home out to 2 different families at the same time. The mother/wife in ...  Read the complete review
