The Fabulously Fashionable Life of Isabel Bookbinder - Holly McQueen

When aspiring designer Isabel Bookbinder bags a job with Nancy ‘Fashion Aristocracy’ Tavistock, she’s sure her career is finally on track. Dazzlingly glamorous, this is a career that she can feel truly passionate about – after all, she knows her Geiger from her Louboutin, her Primark from her Prada, and she’s always poring over fashion magazines. Well, ok, the fashion pages of heat. So, learning from the very best, the future’s looking bright for Isabel Bookbinder: Top International Fashion Designer. Within days she’s putting the final touches to her debut collection, has dreamt up a perfume line, Isabelissimo, and is very nearly a friend of John Galliano. And on top of that she might even have fallen in love. Yet nothing ever runs smoothly for Isabel, and fabulously fashionably as her life is, it soon seems to be spiralling a little out of her control …


I found this a bit similar to the previous Isabel Bookbinder instalment in that it seemed to be following the lead from Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. Also it was once again, difficult to get into, and I actually felt forced to finish it. One of the thoroughly worst books I've ever read which isn't too difficult to achieve as I do enjoy most books I read. I have to admit that I felt a bit of empathy towards Isabel when I realised what Ben was doing but she shouldn't have really jumped to conclusions about Will. 
This is a bit of a poor review, due to how poor the book is. I wouldn't recommend reading it.
