Chick Lit Classic: The Motherhood Walk of Fame by Shari Low
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 the 2007 release The Motherhood Walk of Fame by Shari Low. I read this book a couple of years ago, and it really is laugh out loud funny which is fab, not many books make me laugh out loud! It’s about a housewife, Carly Cooper who finds herself in Hollywood with her young family unexpectedly. It’s a great romp through Hollywood, and of a British housewife trying to fit in in a whole new world to her. Low’s writing is really quick and witty, and if you love light-hearted and funny books, make sure you pick up a copy of The Motherhood Walk of Fame!
“Carly Cooper, harassed mother and disillusioned writer, has often been tempted to head for the hills. She just never imagined they’d be the Hollywood ones! A hilarious romantic comedy for anyone who’s ever had their head in the clouds! Carly’s living the dream. Almost. She has the kids, the husband, the lethargic sex life, and who cares if her novels aren’t exactly bestsellers — pole-vaulting her ironing pile is excitement enough. Just when she’s resigned to domestic mediocrity, a phone call from Hollywood changes everything. Carly is off to Tinseltown! As she arrives in LA, Carly knows life will be transformed!but she doesn’t count on marital disaster, a career roller-coaster and an A-list movie star who wants to offer her more than just a friendly welcome. Carly Cooper is strutting along the Hollywood Walk of Fame but can she get to the end without falling flat on her face?”

I loved this book! I found it at a car boot sale (sorry Shari! I know writers need every royalty) and I just couldn’t put it down. I love escapism with my fiction and since I will (probably) never live in Hollywood I loved reading about this. Funny, touching and beautifully written.

I don’t like types of books like this, they seem too far fetched for me.

Thank you so much, Chloe! It’s actually my favourite too and based on a true experience (except the flirtation with the A-lister bit - Brad Pitt’s security was too tight). xxx
