After a
fairly dark, twisted film, I decided to read something light and fluffy to
distract me and lighten the mood and what better to do that with than a
chick-lit novel which was also at the top of my pile.
West End Girls is a chick-lit romantic comedy book by Jenny Colgan, an author I like to read every so often as her books are generally light-hearted. While they are not my all-time favourite books, I like to reread Colgan's books as well as books from other authors like her when I'm feeling down or ill or I'm on holiday because they make me smile in the end.

Rating: 3
Recommended To: Those with a need for a holiday read
Favourite Characters: Will - far more interesting than Penny and Lizzie
Favourite Part: 'I want you,' said Penny, 'to shoot me before I ever have to come to one of these places.'
'OK,' said Lizzie.
'You're not meant to say that!' said Penny in despair. 'You're meant to say, "Don't be daft, how would you ever end up in one of these places? You'll be surrounded by family and friends and grandchildren before you painlessly slip off in your sleep like that old lady in Titanic."' - Page 258
Good Points: Girls complete opposites; met expectations
Bad Points: Penny and Lizzie were both unlikeable; nothing exciting or striking about this book
