Chick Lit Classics is a new feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!
Another Thursday afternoon means only one thing: a new Chick Lit Classic pick. This week I’ve gone for a relatively new book, it was only released in 2008 but I’ve read it three times now and I figure it’s definitely a classic. That book is Paige Toon’s second novel Johnny Be Good. I’ve read all of Paige’s books - Lucy In The Sky (twice), Chasing Daisy (once) and the aforementioned Johnny be Good (three times) and I am eagerly awaiting Paige’s fourth out in July (is it July yet?!). If I had to pick a favourite of the three, as I’ve loved all three, Johnny would be my pick because it was just a fantastic read. The ending was questionable the first time I read it, however, after Paige revealed that the ending is dealt with in Chasing Daisy I was happy. Even more so when Paige mentioned a potential sequel (which I SO hope is going to happen).
If your boss was the hottest rock star on the planet, would you mix business with pleasure? I’m Meg Stiles. This is my leaving party. And that song we’re making a mockery of? That’s written by one of the biggest rock stars in the world. And I’m moving in with him tomorrow. Seriously! I am not even joking. Well, maybe I’m misleading you a little bit. You see, I haven’t actually met him yet …No, I’m not a stalker. I’m his new PA. His Personal Assistant. And I am off to La-La Land. Los Angeles. The City of Angels - whatever you want to call it - and I can’t bloody believe it! Celebrity PA to wild boy of rock Johnny Jefferson, Meg’s glam new life in sun-drenched LA is a whirlwind of showbiz parties and backstage passes. Cool, calm Christian, in town to write his famous friend’s biography, helps keep Meg’s feet firmly on the ground. But with Johnny’s piercing green eyes and a body Brad Pitt would kill for, how long will it be before she’s swept right off them again?

Here is the cover for Katie Price’s next novel Paradise. It’s out on 22nd July 2010. I think the cover looks OK but the name puts me off so much I wouldn’t even dream of picking it up. I respect her ghostwriter Rebecca but even so, I just wouldn’t pay money for something with Katie Price’s name on!
