I've just read yhe latest Marion Keyes & Seven Summers by Paige Toon. Jane Fallon is 99p on amazon quite often too and a good read.
My fave chick lit writers are Louise Bagshawe, Tilly Bagshawe & Tasmina Perry and of course the Queen herself Jilly Cooper!

Mr Maybe by Jane Green is brilliant.

Love this!!

I love that there are others like me out there who are not ashamed to admit they love a good romance book (even if it has a purple cover!)

I recently joined a book club and lasted one meeting as I was ridiculed for my taste! Sad really, that people have time to judge a person on there preferences of an activity that is meant to be enjoyed alone!

Most of these names I've not heard of, so excited to add some fresh authors to my collection.

Now here is my suggestion back to you all.

Mary Campisi - A Family Affair Saga. It's on Kindle and it's a series that just keeps on giving! X

Ever read any Penny Vincenzi? The queen of chick lit, to me.
Lots of family sagas, glamorous people and all the other wonderful clichés of the genre.
Absolutely, totally absorbing.

I love:
Sarah Hope
Phillips Ashley
Jill Mansell
Paige Toon

All romances easy reads and predictable to a degree yet lovely
Though PT adds twists
Enjoy
