Product Description

Gorgeous goddesses seem to surround script-reader and wannabe movie-maker Anna Brown - from her deranged glamour-queen boss to her perfect, pouting flat-mates - for Anna, being less-than-beautiful is very hard to bear.
With a dead-end job and a ghastly boyfriend to boot, she wonders if she can ever be a success. In fashion- and beauty-crazed London, perhaps being talented just isn’t enough.
Enter Mark Swan, Britain's hottest director. Rugged, reclusive and powerful, everybody wants a piece of him - from studio heads to supermodels. He could be Anna's ticket to the top, but how can she ever hope to snag such a big star?
Fed up of being downbeat and dowdy, Anna decides to chase her dreams and, with a little help from her friends, embarks on a madcap scheme to get just what she’s after...

A refreshing change for Bagshawe
I'm a big Bagshawe fan, but even I admit that as of late her books have been getting a little repetitive to say the least. However, this has now all changed, Monday's Child is a really well written and refreshing read, I couldn't put it down. Gone are the rich girl vs poor girl plots and in comes a really likable character and interesting story, I think this could be a whole new avenue for Bagshawe.

Perfect sun lounger reading
Anna Brown just doesn't seem to have a lot going for her. She's overweight, her boss is a first class bitch and her love life non-existent. But Anna has a determination to succeed in the movie world and wants to change her life around. This new novel by Louise Bagshawe - which could be subtitled "Cinderlla in the 21C" - charts her story from being the office dogsbody to a successful career woman with the alpha male boyfriend to match.

It's an addictive and fast paced read with a central character who has failings we can relate to. This novel makes absolutely NO pretensions to being a literary read; but it's trashy escapism of the highest order - what better way to spend a hot, lazy afternoon?

Absolutely Fantastic
I have read all of Louise Bagshaw's books and have to say that this is by far the best. It only took me 2 days to read as I could not put it down! Highly recommended, especially for a holiday read.
