About this listen

 The streets of London are paved with gold...allegedly. They may be twin sisters, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites. Penny is blonde, thin and outrageous; Lizzie quiet, thoughtful and definitely not thin. The one trait they do share is a desire to do something with their lives, and as far as they are concerned, the place to get noticed is London. Out of the blue they discover they have a grandmother living in Chelsea and when she has to go into hospital, they find themselves flat-sitting on the King's Road. But, as they discover, it's not as easy to become It Girls as they'd imagined, and west end boys aren't at all like Hugh Grant.©2006 Jenny Colgan; (P)2006 Time Warner AudioBooks Contemporary Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction

Does all the things you expect a Colgan novel to do. I laughed, cried fell in love with the characters and desperately wanted them to do well, which they inevitably did. Warm glow central by the end.

It was just too short, a real quick read which I would therefore recommend READING rather than listening too.

Loved it.

Another feel good classic from Colgan
