The first of several Holden charmers,
By
This review is from: Simply Divine (Mass Market Paperback)
Pity Evergirl Jane. Her soon to be ex-boyfriend is vile. Her job does not exactly require life or death decisions. Her best friend Tally is stuck in the back of beyond trying to hold together the family manor with stacks of books and sheer will. What could add to Jane's fun?Try ghostwriting a magazine column for London It girl of the moment, Champagne D'Vyne. Oh no, that name was not a typo. Champagne D'Vyne is a lean, long-legged, drop dead blonde stunner with breasts that would make Pamela Anderson and Jayne Mansfield look flat-chested. Champagne comes complete with a huge trust fund and demon doggie named Gucci. Before Jane can throw herself onto her editing pencil, Champagne invades her life. Poor Tally isn't any help, having to deal with the return of her New Age mum and missing brother. Not even a romp with the stud upstairs can lift Jane's spirits. Champagne's column is a stunning success and Jane escapes from her magazine to one with better circulation. And guess who re-enters her life? It's doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out the plot twists but getting to the end is a blast. Anyone who snaps up Marian Keyes and Sophie Kinsella should give Wendy Holden a try!

I liked it...,
By shopper "lizir" (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simply Divine (Mass Market Paperback)
Wendy Holden's writing kept my attention throughout every bit of Simply Divine. For a quick and easy read thats a lot of fun, try this book. The book flows very smoothly with it's plot, introdcing several aspects (professional, realationship, friendship, etc..) of the main character, Jane's, twenty-something semi-chaotic life. Throughout the entire read, Holden has you rooting for all of the right characters and she never side-tracks or goes in circles around the main plot. It stays right on line, is full of humor and has a perfect ending... though you wouldn't imagine this ending until maybe the last ten pages. If you like the twenty-something single girl books, then you need to read this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Quite clever, an easy read,
By Laura (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simply Divine (Mass Market Paperback)
For her first novel I thought that Wendy Holden did an absolutely wonderful job writing Simply Divine. It is an extremely clever book. She had such great characters. Each character supported a different element of the novel. I found that the main character, Jane, was easy to relate to. She was going through many common issues, like boyfriend troubles, weight and job issues,which are things lots of people deal with. Then there was Champagne, the snotty superstar, Jane is hired to follow around. Champagne had so many different elements to her. She has a new boyfriend each week, a dog named Gucci, and very little intelligence, which makes for very interesting situations. Then there is Tally, Jane's bestfriend. Tally is extremely vulnerable and is willing to trust anyone, which makes her an easy target. There are many more incredibly unbelievable characters in this novel. I highly recommend it. It has a different tone to it than a lot of the novels that are out these days. Simply Divine is a comedic romance. The comedy lies within the ironic situations that arise throughout the story. It's not depressing, it's actually very uplifting and enjoyable to read.
