Book Review: The Glamorous (Double) Life of Isabel Bookbinder by Holly McQueen (LEAH)
Posted on Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 by Leah
Isabel Bookbinder might not be leading the most glamorous life ever – measuring column inches at the Saturday Mercury isn’t exactly the job of her dreams – but luckily she’s developed a foolproof plan to change all that.
Reasons to become a bestselling author:
Plentiful opportunities to swish new Super-hair
Sophisticated launch parties (with smoked salmon blinis)
Am bound to captivate the delicious Joe Madison
Can finally prove to father that Really Am Not a Waster
Potential setbacks:
Don’t yet have ‘Yoko’ bag, as carried by arch rival Gina D… or honed size-eight figure (useful for interviews)
Hmm. Am inadvertently at the centre of a major political sex scandal
Paparazzi are doorstepping my parents and boring boyfriend Russell
Haven’t actually got round to putting pen to paper yet
Admittedly some of the setbacks are a little daunting, but Isabel’s sure that a woman of her ingenuity – and creativity – can find a way …



Mummy Said The F-Word is a book based around Caitlin Brown, a mother of 3 young children whose life is turned upside down when she accidentally finds out her husband Martin is having an affair with dopey Daisy from the water-cooling firm.
