Fashion college has taught Katie Castle everything she ever needed to know: how to smoke cigarettes and drink; how to flirt with gay men and straight women; how to get into clubs without paying. Possessed of a sharp eye and a stiletto tongue, Katie talks her way into the job of her dreams. Working for chic designer Penny Moss, Katie snags not only a town house in London’s Primrose Hill but also a cute fiancé, Ludo, who happens to be Penny’s son. But one act of libidinal folly with the company delivery driver costs Katie everything: job, boyfriend, flat, friends. Will she be forced to move back with her sartorially challenged parents? Or can she maneuver a return to fashion that somehow doesn’t involve (gasp!) retail? Rebecca Campbell has invented a wisecracking heroine who’ll keep you laughing right up to the last page. Katie’s misfortune will be your delight, as this irrepressible wit carpe diems herself into a set of adventures that once again propels her to the top. Slave to Fashion marks the arrival of an uncommonly smart and very funny new writer.… (plus d'informations)

I picked this up after reading Sophie Kinsella's blurb-review. What a disappointment! Not as hilarious as I had anticipated, but a good book to pass the time. ( )

Another English book, chosen due to Sophie Kinsella's recommendation on the cover, about a young woman who works her way up in the fashion industry and in the beginning is engaged to the boss' son. Then all goes awry. Humorous one liners throughout. (Are all English women comedians?) Cute, sweet! ( )

It took me almost 2 months to read this thin book. It didn't grab my attention, its depth is shallow and over-written. I was more excited to finally be done with the book than with the actual ending of the book (which wasn't terrible, but didn't redeem the novel itself). This book was one from a 25 cent sale at a tiny thrift store in Shelton, WA. I figured it a perfect opportunity to grab as many random as possible. You win some, you some. ( )

I couldn't even finish it!: First off let me just say that I'm not a picky reader when it comes to chiclit books. I usually love 'em all! The Shopaholic Series, Anything Jane Green, or Nic Sparks. You name it I own it! I'm also a Fashion Student and love anything involving the catwalk & designers, so when I saw this book I just had to have it! I guess now would be a good time to mention I bought this book about 5 years ago and have tried numerous times over the years to finish it! (TRY being the keyword) When I would take the time to read it my eyes would glaze over with boredom. The book went no where, the characters are dull, and it's just plan BORING! I ended up giving this book to Goodwill. Don't waste your money! And if you do, don't say I didn't warn you!

Katie es la mano derecha de la gran modista Penny Moss, quién le ha prestado un precioso apartamento en Primrose Hill y con cuyo hijo planea casarse. Pero su frivolidad le llevará a cometer un error que supondrá ser expulsada...
