‘Not Exactly Chick Lit But…’: The Best Friend’s Guide to Life
October 8th, 2010 by Leah
‘Not Exactly Chick Lit But…’ is a new feature on Chick Lit Reviews highlighting some books that are not exactly Chick Lit (hence the title) but that our Chick Lit readers will probably enjoy! Let me know if there’s a book you would suggest for my new feature!
This week’s book The Best Friend’s Guide To Life seems like the perfect book for Chick Lit fans, that isn’t exactly Chick Lit! It’s written by Fearne Cotton and Holly Willougby - real life best friends - and sounds like a perfect read for best friends, or just anyone wondering what it is that makes a good friend! I for one love the sound of it!
What makes a great friend? Has Facebook ruined dating? What’s the secret to effortless style? “Hello! This is a book written by proper best friends - us! - who have been hanging out together for over ten years. We thought that if we shared some of our own experiences and views on friendship, relationships, leaving home, studying or starting a new job, then it might help you on your own journey. Inside you’ll find loads of stories - some funny, some sad, and some that make us cringe with embarrassment - as well as tips and advice on things like dating and looking good. We’ve included our best photos from over the years (even the dodgy ones!) and drawings that Fearne has done especially. Let’s face it, life isn’t easy at times so we hope that this book will make you laugh, entertain you, but most of all that it might be a bit like talking to your very best friend.”








I normally don’t go for this type of book but I like the idea of it and will now be looking out for it.
