Last year, Carrie
Duffy’s debut novel ‘Idol’ was one of my favourite books of the year, so I couldn’t
wait to read a copy of her second book ‘Diva’.
Diva
follows the lives of three young women, each striving to make their own way in
life.
Dionne is a
feisty girl from Detroit
who is determined to become a supermodel. She will let no one stand in her way
– whatever the consequences.
CeCe is an
aspiring fashion designer determined to be independent from her parents and be
successful in the cut throat Parisien fashion world.
Alyson is
the most naïve of the three and just wants to escape her upbringing when she
arrives in Paris.
She is beautiful and vulnerable.
All three
forge a strong friendship when they share an apartment in Paris, but will their friendship stand the
test of changing lifestyles and loyalties?
Diva is
gripping from beginning to end and I found that I could not put it down. Duffy
is a brilliant writer who makes the reader feel that they actually know the characters.
As the characters embark on a glamorous, jet set lifestyle seeing places like Paris, St Tropez, London
and Dubai, the
reader is taken away for the ride – enjoying every little detail.
I cannot
recommend this novel highly enough. Diva is fun, witty and addictive. It will
take you on a journey of friendship, rivalry, loyalty and loss.
Without a
doubt, this is a 5 star read!
Don’t miss
out, Diva is available to buy now.
Thank you
to Harper Collins for sending me a copy to review.
This book caught my attention straight away - I love the cover - it's so Jilly Cooperish isn't it?!
