Last week I escaped the rain on a week’s holiday to Italy. I always
like to plan what I am going to read when I’m away and had been keeping Chelsea
Wives at the top of my list. I definitely was not disappointed. From the moment
we took off I had my nose in the book and did not want to put it down.
Chelsea Wives tells the story of three glamorous ladies who
lunch. There is Imogen, an ex-model and long suffering wife of Sebastian
Forbes, Calgary a former fashion editor who finds herself having to turn a
blind eye to her husband’s indiscretions far more than she wants to and Yasmin,
Lady Belmont-Jones who is not all that she seems.
Weatherley takes the reader into a world where mind
numbingly expensive shopping sprees, long leisurely lunches and glamorous photo
shoots are just everyday life. However, the ladies show that they’re more than
just a pretty face when they hatch a plan to get revenge on their scheming and
deceitful husbands.
I loved reading Chelsea Wives, it is gripping and I was
hooked from the very first page! There are some hilarious moments that will
leave you laughing out loud.
I was surprised to see that this is Weatherley’s first foray
into the world of adult fiction (she has previously written two novels for the
teenage fiction market). This is a fantastic debut novel that I would highly
recommend.
Thank you to Avon for sending me a copy to review.
