Birthday present for sister needed - she asks for a good chic/flick sort of novel.

[Pan]

Am not au fait with this genre....can anyone make a recommendation please?

tia.

Marion Keyes?

I was going to say Marion Keyes too! Lovely characters, interesting plots & loads of laughs

(but check that she hasn't already read them all)

not Marian Keyes?....just goggled her latest "this Charming Man" - a bit serious for chic/lit maybe?

Ponders - my sis would have been explicit in her orderings to me!

Yes she might well have some. If she hasn't read any yet, Sushi for beginners is my favourite

yes, this Charming Man is a more serious plot than most of hers, but still has the usual fab characters & hilarious lines

\link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rachels-Holiday-Marian-Keyes/dp/0140271791/ref=pd_cp_b_3\Rachel's Holiday} has overwhelmingly good reviews on amazon

is nice and saucy... plenty of bits

I'd like to add that my sister has a mind like a sewer. She invents her own double entendres, and sniggers at them, even before the utterer has innocently finished speaking.

Not needed for this request obv. Just an opportunity to be a bit libelous about her as an indulgence.

\link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/Other-Side-Story-Marian-Keyes/dp/0140295992/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_3\the Other Side of the Story} popular too

(I have read both these but would happily read them again )

I like Fiona Walkers books - Similar to Keyes (same characters turn up in various books) More horsey set - acyually think I might go nd dig one out for a re-read!

Ceila Ahern is a good bet too. Still Irish, PS I love you is her best known one, but any of hers are a good read. They are like grown up fairytales!

My fav is the one totally written like letters/emails/texts....cant remember what its called.

king - sounds like it's just up my sisters alley. < at which she would have sniggered at " like it's just up.." - you get the picture?>

Harriet Evans - I think her latest one Love Always is great
www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Always-Harriet-Evans/dp/0007350228/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1314651547&sr=8-3

will she have read \link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Day-David-Nicholls/dp/0340896981/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314651533&sr=1-1\One Day?}

by a bloke but still chick lit & very current (film just out, dodgy casting though)

Jilly cooper then!

Where rainbows end!! Thats it!

And before someone corrects me I know its Cecelia Ahern. :o

Or Freya North? Cat, Pip and Fen are a series along with Home Truths. Chloe is my fav, some quite bits too!!

I like chick lit, although I dont like the term chick lit but the best I have ever read is Twenties Girl by Sophia Kinsella, lovely story

Right - thanks v. much all. I will look these up, and get two books and some smellies. [sister's snigger emocion]

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series - laugh out loud funny with lots of raunch and great plots.

I'd recommend, and i hate to admit this... a surprisingly good book by Sharon Osborne (supposedly), called 'Revenge', and it has a sexy black glittery cover .

I am afraid a sexy black glittery cover would turn her head.

But she is as sharp as a whip. Really curious mix.

I'm sharp as a whip too
