Isabel Bookbinder is a twenty-seven-year-old assistant at the Saturday Mercury newspaper in London. She has a disinterested boyfriend, a mother who loves clothes that match, and a father who always expects her to do better.
She may spend most of her time measuring newspaper column inches, but she’s well on her way to becoming a bestselling author. Isabel’s already perfected Her Look (cashmere track suit, lots of mascara), is working on her toned size eight figure, and gets up at dawn to work on her novel (well, sort of). She even has a glamorous mentor — a bestselling but increasingly eccentric author who takes her to fabulous book parties and introduces her to the dreamy literary agent Joe Madison.
Isabel looks set for her literary stardom, but as she exposes a political sex scandal, lands the paparazzi on her parents’ doorstep, and her name becomes known for all the wrong reasons, her glamorous double life starts to spin out of control.
With her distinctive voice, penchant for getting in sticky situations, and blind confidence in her long-shot dream of becoming a famous novelist, Isabel Bookbinder is a heroine that you can’t help but fall in love with.” – BOOK BACK
FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…She’s so ditzy yet too cute. I wanted to laugh at her but then I wanted to hug her and welcome her into my friend circle. Not sure if I’d call her a heroine but she definitely lightened things up. I thought it was hilarious whenever she daydreamed of the glamorous life she’d have as a famous author. We’ve all done it (pretend to be someone famous) but it’s more fun to watch someone else look silly. If you’re into chic lits like Bridget Jones Diaries and Confessions of a Shopaholic, you’ll enjoy reading about Isabel.
