I never actually bought this book; I picked it up on holiday last year in a book exchange at the hotel I was staying in. I never even got round to reading it until a full year after I'd landed back on English soil.
From reading the blurb and judging the book by its cover (naughty, I know) I'd come to the conclusion that this was just another really trashy, tacky book. Hence why it took me over 365 days to actually be bothered to read it.
Now I've read it; I'd honestly say it's one of my favourite books I've read. It's a mix of romance, drama and friendship; with the backdrop being Chelsea in London. I found this very fascinating because it was almost an insight into other peoples lives, because in reality; there are many "Chelsea Wives".
The book is about 3 women: Imogen, Calvary and Yasmin/Stacey who get revenge on their husbands. Calvary's husband for cheating on Calvary with their sons fiancée, Yasmin's husband for murdering Yasmin's ('real' name is Stacey) sister and Imogen's husband for deliberately publicly humiliating her and making sure she is unable to re-launch her once successful modelling career. A lot of this book is very "action" based; telling the story of how the three women plot and carry out a robbery of a very high profile diamond. There's also a few unexpected moments in there which I just loved! I won't mention those as it will give everything away. The book also tells a few real love stories and there's a good measure of sex involved, like any perfect poolside companion book.
I loved this book and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.. well any female reading this! I do have to agree with the front cover though, it's definitely more of a poolside read. Full of sass, sex and scheming, it's definitely worth a quick read!
If you've read it then I would love to know your thoughts; please leave me a comment below!
