Cecelia Ahern. Ps I love you, any of hers are great but that was especially.

Adele Parks, Chris Manby, Jane Green and Jane Moore all great holiday reading. Have read all of the shopaholic and undomestic godess books. Shopaholic is coming out at the cinema this year and Isla Fisher plays our heroine Becky Bloomwood. There is also a new Kinsella book - 'remember me' just released on hardback only. Love chick lit

Anything by Marion Keyes, Jill Mansell, Freya North, Christina Jones, Katie Fforde or Lisa Jewell. They're all easy to read, girl-meets-boy-obstacle-happy-ending type books, require no brainpower to follow the plots so are perfect for holiday!

Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella is good if you haven't read it already.

Chequers, we clearly have the same good taste!

Sally by Freya North, Bookends and Babyville by Jane Green, Mike Gayle books are lovely (and chick-lit though written by a man), any Maran Keyes.

i really enjoyed "i don't know how she does it" by allison pearson.

laugh out loud funny, bit sad, dead easy to read and really easy to get into. in fact, have read it about 4 times now!

Jennifer Crusie is great, especially Welcome to Temptation, Manhunting and Fast Women. If you want a big thick book then Nora Roberts can be good (although some of hers are a bit fey), Montana Sky is quite a chick lit one of hers.

The Book People are doing 12 Little Black Dress books for £9.99 if you like them.

Freya North wrote some good books, all with ladies names as titles. Cat was one.

Also I like Jodi Picoult, esp My sisters keeper.... Not sure this is chick Lit tho??

Loved the shopaholic books as well, made me laugh out loud

the secret life of a slummy mummy is a good read ( think that is the title)
