review 1: You can tell this author writes for a soap opera. At the same time it's a bit of an homage AND a bit of a satire on the world of the soaps - especially towards the end where the plotline gets increasingly histrionic. Maybe he should have decided to go all out for the former OR the latter. Some of the early stuff about drama school training is pretty amusing. An easy undemanding read with shades of Harvey's TV comedies as well as a certain famous street in Manchester
review 2: Jonathan Harvey is one of the better Coronation Street writers and has also written plays. This is a foray into chicklit and is quite a fun read. It's about a woman from Liverpool who is a soap opera actor who has just broken up with her boyfriend and is on the edge of a bit of a breakdown... more. She makes a drunken fool of herself at an awards show and we are then taken back to her childhood and hear her story, including her relationships with her friends and her brother, her first love. There's heartbreak, and fun. The dialogue is mostly sharp and sarcastic. It was light and easy to read. less
