Who’s That Girl?

Edie has a platonic friendship with a colleague who is dating another colleague. Their messages are flirty banter and jack sometimes expresses doubts about his romance, but that's all. So even though Edie is in love with Jack nothing happens until, on his wedding day, Jack kisses Edie ... and his wife catches them. As is always the way, the single woman is vilified while the cheater gets off scot-free. So when the atmosphere at work becomes toxic Edie's boss suggests she goes home to Nottingham for a few weeks/months while things subside. As an incentive, he asks Edie to help ghost-write an autobiography for an up-and-coming tv star and heartthrob who also happens to come from Nottingham and is currently in the city filming a gritty detective film. Nottingham is nothing but bad memories for Edie, her stroppy sister, her depressed father, their grotty home. Then the actor she is supposed to help turns out to be a bit of a Diva. But with no other choice Edie is forced to make the best of it. I liked this but I didn't love it. There were too many clichés, the bitchy gay BFF who turns out to be a fair-weather friend. The power-crazed director, the love-hate relationship between the sisters, the story behind Edie's mother's death, the actor's story, yadda yadda. Also I have read something very similar before, or there are so many tropes that it just felt very familiar. And then it ended very abruptly!

I absolutely love this author. I have completely enjoyed every one of her books and this one is no exception. Not your usual chick book.. I'd love to see a part 2 of this book. Can't wait for her next book.. 5⭐

Once again I loved this author's book! So sad that I've finished already and the wait for the next one starts. Lovely story, witty and well written.
