A national bestseller in England, this delightful new novel has been called "Frothy, frivolous, and fun." (Harpers & Queen)
Jane, a struggling, twenty-something writer for a glossy women's magazine, has inadvertently just landed her worst nightmare of an assignment. Not only does she have a less-than-satisfying relationship with her boring and cantankerous boyfriend, who has a host of other insecurities, but now her eccentric magazine editor has made her the personal ghostwriter for the town's latest bedazzling, blonde, and busty socialite: Champagne D'Vyne. While Jane reels from the annoying and distasteful business of investigating, and then glamorizing, the vacuous details of Champagne's life, her new assignment suddenly becomes intertwined with her personal life in surprising ways. Will her own romantic prospects broaden? Will she be able to help save her best friend's dilapidated country manor with a matchmaking scheme? At once whimsical and satirical, Simply Divine is already a smash hit in England, and will undoubtedly be a crowd-pleaser for American readers.

Simply divine
I've been wracking my brain trying to remember who or what convinced me to add this book about a young single London magazine editor to my queue, because bleh, it was not very good. To be fair, it was very witty (although HEAVY on the puns) but it was also shallow and sordid. I am a fan of hapless-yet-spunky-girl-in-hilarious-situations stories, but this lacked the heart and likeable heroines of other British chick lit like Bridget Jones's Diary or Confessions of a Shopaholic. And I know this genre is not known for utter realism, but the interpersonal relationships and ridiculous plot points and punny names stretched my suspension of disbelief TOO FAR.
