Since November 2009Chick Lit Classics: Asking For Trouble by Liz Young
August 5th, 2010 by Leah
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’ve chosen Asking For Trouble by Liz Young (or Elizabeth Young) as our Classic pick. I read this absolutely ages ago but I really loved it. It has a hilarious plot (hiring an escort for a wedding because you lied to your family about a boyfriend?), it was made into a movie (The Wedding Date, although I didn’t like it at all), and it was such a fun read. It’s kind of sad that Liz appears to not be writing books any more as I’ve read two of them and both were fab. If you haven’t read Asking For Trouble, I recommend you do as it’s so good and deserves it’s place in our Chick Lit Classics posts!
Sophy’s single and happy about it. She does, however, have an imaginary boyfriend, Dominic, a little white lie designed to keep Sophy’s mother off her back. Which is fine, until his presence is demanded at a family wedding. So does Sophy admit Dominic is a fantasy? Oh no. Sophy hires an escort. But when the distinctly delicious Josh Carmichael arrives on her doorstep, Sophy can tell things are going to get tricky. And the wedding is only the beginning…
