Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend by Jenny ColganMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Four and a half stars.
When Sophie Chesterton's father dies she finds her lavish lifestyle (house in Knightsbridge, cocktails in Chelsea, fake job, black Amex card, and shopping in Harrods) is a thing of the past. At first his will requires her to live off her own earnings independently for six months but when the dust settles it seems that her father was over-extended and all his assets are taken to pay his debts.
Sophie can barely afford a grotty flatshare in the Old Kent Road, sharing with four art students. She can't even afford to pay the deposit so agrees to clean the flat if the boys cover her deposit. Acting as gopher for a renowned photographer who makes his real money taking 'glamour' shots of topless models, Sophie struggles to build a new life, torn between two of her flatmates: the sultry manslut Cal and the kind sweet Eck. TBH I wasn't in any doubt who she would pick but I enjoyed the modern, adult riff on that children's classic A Little Princess, I was at home in bed with summer flu and this was just the ticket, fun, easy-reading romance.
