Summary: Not her best, but I have read worse
Review: This one if o.k. Not great mind you, but again, if you are going for brainless, kickback on vacation - it might get the job done.

Summary: Over The Top Fun
Review: This was one of the funniest books I have read in recent times. Admittedly, it is light and frothy but it is pure escapist fun that will keep you entertained from beginning to end. Aspiring writer Anna is at a loose end both in terms of her career and love life when she takes a job as a personal assistant (that should read nanny!) for the totally atrocious Cassandra, writer of erotic romance novels, wife of a has-been rock star and mother of Zak who should be renamed Damian. What follows is a non-stop adventure of Anna's daily trials and tribulations including her romance with the handsome laird of a Scottish castle. This is not world-class literature (and doesn't pretend to be). Some of the characters are outrageously over the top but the book wouldn't be half as much fun if they weren't. Those reviewers who have given this book one-star ratings and scathing comments really need to lighten up a little. Readers also need to stop trying to equate all contemporary British women writers with Helen Fielding and Bridget Jones. Bridget is Bridget and why should any of these other heroines pretend to be. Try Bad Heir Day for yourself, sit back, relax and just have a ton of fun.

Summary: Another Holden charmer
Review: Wendy Holden is part of the wave of British female fiction to hit America over the last decade. No, Holden is not Helen Fielding by a long shot, but her heroines aren't as annoying as a certain 30 something Singleton."Bad Heir Day" features Anna. Anna is well educated and living with her boyfriend Sebastian. After a wedding and diasterous dinner with Sebastian's icy/scary mum, Anna is looking for a new place to live and a new job. She posts her dream job as a writer's assistant on a notice board at the local Kensington library and hopes for the best. What she gets is Cassandra. Think a sleazier Jackie Collins or Jacqueline Susann with a fading rock star husband and a vile, demon child called Zak. Poor Anna accepts Cassandra's livein job offer only to slowly realize she is more nanny to demon spawn than Cassandra's assistant. Cassandra herself isn't having such a wonderful time either. Her books are in a decline, she's struggling with the network of other Super-Mothers and their spawn and her publisher is demanding her latest title. Anna manages to survive with her new friends in the network of Super-Mother Super-Nannies. Compared to the other nannies, Anna's getting the short end of the stick. Cassandra attempts to cope with endless bottles of Bombay Sapphire gin and bossing Anna around mercilessly. Salvation appears for Anna in the form of romance. But is Anna's laird suitor too good to be true? And will Cassandra be able to deal with her husband's sudden return to the charts? All matters come to a head and like other Wendy Holden titles, the worlds meet and come to a climax with the appearance of everyone's favorite London It girl, Champagne. By the last fifteen pages of the book, you know how things will end, but getting there is a definite treat!
