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!

If you haven’t read any of Sophie King’s books, I’d definitely recommend Mums@Home but any of Sophie’s read are all brilliant!
