Reviewer: Samantha
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
This is Desperate Housewives meets First Wives Club set in the glamorous borough of Chelsea.
On the King’s Road, revenge is sweeter than champagne…
They are the ultimate ladies who lunch: Imogen, the beautiful ex-model, Calgary, the glamorous, former fashion editor, and Yasmin, the feisty ex-party girl.
But life isn’t all champagne and canapés. Plagued by personal tragedy and united by failing marriages, they mastermind a shocking plan to turn the tables on their husbands.
Set against a backdrop of exotic locations, designer boutiques and London’s high society scene, these Chelsea Wives are about to join forces and risk it all for the ultimate revenge…
Review:
British chick lit and I tend not to always get along so well. I don’t really ever dislike a book, they just don’t seem to hold my attention for long or are extremely memorable to me. The characters in this book are a little two-dimensional, but not highly unlikeable. They were very much the “ladies who lunch” as the blurb tells us, and in some situations it was just a little too over the top. The scenes about getting revenge on their husbands did keep my attention, but I felt a lot of the situations weren’t needed for the book.
