Book Cover: The Only Way Is Up by Carole Matthews
Posted on Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Chloe
Carole Matthews’ new book is due out on 16th September 2010, and the cover has been released, so here it is. I can’t say I’m too keen on it myself, it wouldn’t particularly stand out to me as the yellow is a bit drab for me, but as usual though, the story inside sounds great! Here’s the synopsis:
“Lily and Laurence Lamont-Jones have it all: lavish holidays in exotic locations, a top private school for their children, Hettie and Hugo, and a beautiful Buckinghamshire home with horses and stables. But their perfect world is about to be turned upside down. Laurence has lost his job and, on their return from holiday, they find their house and all their belongings have been repossessed. Forced to live in a council house on one of Milton Keynes’s roughest estates, the Lamont-Joneses are about to discover how the other half live. And with the help of true friends, a little luck and a lot of determination they learn that when you’ve reached rock bottom the only way is up…”







I’ve read most of Cecelia Ahern’s books although Thanks for the Memories is sitting on my shelf waiting for me to pick it up. The cover I have is the one on the right and I think it’s OK. Not my favourite of Cecelia’s covers by a long shot that’s for sure. However one day when I was browsing Amazon I happened across the American cover (left) and I fell in love. I much prefer it to the UK cover, I must say! It looks grown up and really fab. Do you agree?
I was just browsing on Amazon, minding my own business when the cover for Zadie Smith’s book Changing My Mind caught my eye. I thought it looked incredibly familiar and I soon realised where I’d seen it before - barring the colours, it looks identical to Adele Park’s new cover design for Men I’ve Loved Before. Similar, no? I would assume they were both designed by the same person, otherwise it’s one heck of a coincidence!
