Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend by Jenny Colgan


****4 stars
I was hesitant on reading this book. I have had it on my shelf for a while and put of reading it for fear that the descriptions seemed so shallow. I was completely wrong. This was a good read. It had a bit of everything in it and I truly liked the main character Sophie and how she grew. I look forward to her new release in April, "Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe".

Book Jacket Summary:
Sophie is a girl about town - living the party lifestyle with Daddy footing the bill. But when she gets embroiled in a scandalous affair, she is thrown out of home and left to fend for herself on the mean streets of London. Scraping a living as a cleaner in a photographic studio, living in a bedsit on the Old Kent Road, eating baked beans from the can - this is one spectacular fall from grace. On top of that, she is papped by photographers every time she leaves the flat, with her so-called friends laughing at her downfall. But stepping in to solve a crisis at the studio, Sophie discovers that she is also quite handy with a camera, and a new career behind the lense is born. But when she is hired as the photographer for a society wedding, Sophie is thrust back into her old lifestyle, and discovers that perhaps money can't buy you happiness after all ...
