Description

'I just loved it. Lethally funny and so clever.' - Jilly Cooper

I ADORED it. It's the most fun I've had with a book in a long time, and I love how she writes - so many dazzling sentences and phrases.' - Marian Keyes

Debt, double-basements, dastardly bankers...and DIVORCE?

'Hell is other people' and journalist Mimi Fleming is fast realizing on her return to Notting Hill that there is no greater hell than the W11 neighbours with whom she shares an exclusive communal garden. Since she's been away, all her friends have become - impossibly - even richer, thinner, and YOUNGER. They're busy not just turning back the clock but also their homes into palatial iceberg houses - with basement swimming pools.

But Mimi's troubles are just beginning. There's the compromising and risky mission she'd undertaking to re-launch her so-called journalism career (plus an embarrassing case of mistaken identity thanks to Google). Then there's her children who will only communicate via WhatsApp . And worst of all, Mimi's fallen for someone, and it's certainly not her husband Ralph.

Ralph and Mimi have already been to Notting Hell and back. But is this the end or the beginning of something new?



Debt, double basements, dastardly bankers . . . and divorce?

Reviews
Laugh out loud...Johnson's easy-breezy comic style [belies] a wicked satirical take-down of the capital's mega-rich and their wobbly value system...perfectly pitched. * The Times *
First class...Johnson is hilarious...a talented writer who can go deep when she wants to. * 'Summer Reads', Irish Independent on Sunday *
Delicious fun * Mail on Sunday *
A sharp-tongued comedy * Metro *
[An] ultra-funny, ultra-detailed take on the mores and manners of the West London super-rich. * Daily Mail *
Slowly, devilishly roasts her characters in the flames of a hundred Diptyque scented candles. * The Spectator *
A lot of fun along the way * Observer *
Delicious fun * Mail on Sunday *
Fast-paced, fizzy . . . fun beach reading. * The Lady *
Glorious fun * Tatler *
I just loved it. Lethally funny and so clever. * Jilly Cooper *
I ADORED it. It's the most fun I've had with a book in a long time, and I love how she writes - so many dazzling sentences and phrases. * Marian Keyes *
Sparkling savage and remarkably sexy. * Daisy Goodwin *
A wickedly funny, biting satire of Notting Hill's basement-digging class. My absolute guiltiest read this summer. * Plum Sykes *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
