Chick Lit Classics is a regular 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!
This week I have chosen one of Tina Reilly’s early releases, Wedded Blitz. Tina now writes under her full name of Martina Reilly, and the books under that name are a bit more serious and have a much more serious looking cover too, but I really enjoyed some of Martina’s early books, and Wedded Blitz is one of them. It’s a funny, heart warming and enjoyable read about a woman who is determined to make it on her own in business after the demise of her marriage, and I loved every page. It originally came out in 2005, and has already been released with an updated cover, but I think it’s a fantastic read and it’s one I’d definitely recommend!
“Warring spouses, embarrassing parents and the battle of the hairdressing salons …When Dublin girl Jane married local boy Jim, she thought it was for ever. But now there are cracks in their marriage that they just can’t seem to fix. When Jim announces he’s moving out, Jane is left to pick up the pieces of their family life. And then her mother decides to visit…Determined to remain upbeat, Jane plans to make a real success of her work, only to discover that Cutting Edge, the hairdressing empire, is opening a shop yards away from her own humble salon. With her staff in uproar and customers deserting them in droves, Jane decides to play Cutting Edge at their own game. Then life deals Jane and Jim one dreadful blow, past hurts rush to the surface, and they are forced to confront what drove them apart in the first place.”
