I had a long wait today, one that I knew about in advance, so I stocked up with a couple of book choices to occupy the time. This one, from the op shop pile of a few days ago, turned out to be lots of fun, an entertaining meringue read of the chicklit variety. I haven't read any other Sophie Kinsella books (she writes the "Shopaholic" series) but now I just may.
The fact that it had an aqua cover, and I'm currently rather besotted with aqua, had NOTHING to do with anything!
I get slightly bewildered by the plethora of chicklit that you see in bookshops now - a spun-sugar cupcake palette of cover colours, twirly-whirly-I'm-fun fonts....and unsettlingly often, heroines who sound rather self-obsessed. If you have any chicklit recommendations, please do leave them in the comments - I'm happy to have some pointers to ones that are worth reading.

For home grown chick lit I recommend Jessica Adams, Maggie Alderson and Monica McInerney.
Also Marian Keyes, Fiona Walker (I prefer her earlier stuff like Snap Happy and Kiss rather than her later) and Wendy Holden.
I have read this a couple of times, it is a favourite. Like you, as yet I have not read any of her other books.
