Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend
Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend | Jenny Colgan
5 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
How does an It Girl survive when she loses everything? Sophie Chesterton is a girl about town - she knows all the right people, goes to all the right parties, and wears all the right clothes. But deep down she suspects that her superficial friends and lifestyle don't amount to very much. Her father is desperate for her to make her own way in the world, and when after one shocking evening her life is turned upside down, she suddenly has no choice. Scraping a living as a 'glamour' photographer's assistant, living in a hovel on the Old Kent Road with four smelly boys, eating baked beans from the can, Sophie is desperate to get her life back. But does a girl really need diamonds to be happy?

This was a cute, light read about a rich girl who loses everything and has to find her own way. Nothing groundbreaking, but I needed a light read!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend... especially when she bought them for her own damn self 💎

Apologies for the completely non book post, friends - when I locked down my new job I splurged a bit and have been waiting for it to be sized. It felt damn good to treat myself!

Avanders Congrats on the job and the diamonds! 💖 6y

Books are a Litten's best friend, as are other readers. 📚💕

ValerieAndBooks Very true! 📚📚📚📚 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Yes, I'll take a diamond's worth o books any day. Funny, I would have taken the diamond in my 20s and 30s. Lol 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @JanuarieTimewalker13 I agree about both points. I'm happy with jewelry, but it's books I can't get enough of! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 It's because they are so comforting, even if they aren't , you know you are going to learn something. I love that the author shares his/her mind with you. Since I've been reading more in the last 10 years, I've learned how to distance myself from human folly and get lost in a book, or maybe even empathize and compare behavior to maybe something I've read in a book. The stepping back and examining has helped me. (edited) 7y
