The cover for Jenny Colgan’s new book The Good, The Bad and The Dumped is finally up online, and here it is! I think it’s gorgeous, and the book sounds like a good read too. It’s due out on 15th April 2010, and here’s the synopsis:

“Posy is delighted when Matt proposes - on top of a mountain, in a gale, in full-on romantic mode. But the next morning disaster strikes: he backs out of the engagement. Crushed and humiliated, Posy starts thinking. Why has her love life always, ALWAYS ended in total disaster? Determined to discover how she got to this point, Posy resolves to track down her exes . . .

Is there hope for Matt, or will she fall back in love with an old flame? What about Lord Voldemort, the old boyfriend that cannot be named? And could Posy face up to the idea that, actually, one day she could live life on her own terms?”

Jenny Colgan’s next novel The Good, The Bad & The Dumped is due for release on 13th May 2010 and sounds like a fab read:

What does an It girl do if she loses all her money? Sophie Chesterton is a girl about town - she knows all the right people, goes to all the right parties, and wears all the right clothes. But deep down she suspects that her best friends are actually rather nasty, and that her lifestyle doesn’t really amount to much.

Her father wants her to make her own way in the world, to make him proud. But after one shocking evening her life is changed for ever. Scraping a living as an assistant to a ‘glamour’ photographer; living in a hovel on the Old Kent Road with four smelly boys; eating baked beans from the can - this is one spectacular fall from grace.

Sophie is desperate to get her life back - but does a girl really need diamonds to be happy?

Jenny Colgan’s next novel The Near-Misses has had a name change and will now come out as The Good, The Bad & The Dumped. I have no idea which I prefer as there is no synopsis posted. There’s also no cover yet but it’s due out on 9th April 2010 …not long to wait then!

The streets of London are paved with gold …allegedly.

They may be twin sisters, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites - Penny is blonde, thin and outrageous; Lizzie quiet, thoughtful and, well, definitely not thin. The one trait they do share is a desire to DO something with their lives, and as far as they’re concerned, the place to get noticed is London.

Out of the blue they discover they have a grandmother living in Chelsea - and when she has to go into hospital, they find themselves flat-sitting on the King’s Road. But, as they discover, it’s not as easy to become It Girls as they’d imagined, and west end boys aren’t at all like Hugh Grant ...
