I hope you read The Sisters Who Would Be Queen soon, I've been wanting to read it forever and I'd love to know what you think!
ReplyDeleteI thought The Secret History of the Pink Carnation was a lot of fun - it's certainly more in the chicklit style, but it enjoys its over-the-top antics so much. I couldn't help doing the same. Hope you enjoy!
