It’s driving me mad!

I read an awful book when I was a teen. I remember it was chick lit about a socialite called Pandora. She went swimming a lot, didn’t work and made cheese soufflés. She had a friend who had a recently lost her virginity and she wanted to start looking around for the right man to do so.

She met a man who was a very important business man who took her to Gstaad. That’s about all I can remember! I’ve googled and googled, I don’t want to read it again 😂 just want to know it wasn’t a figment of my imagination. Anyone? 🙏

Sorry ringing no bells.

I thought the plot sounded a bit Jilly Cooperish and weirdly she has written a book called Pandora but it's about a painting not a socialite.

The details aren't quite right but for some reason it's reminding me of one of the Jackie Collins Lucky books - when Lucky is a teen she takes up with a friend called Olympua and I think bits of it are in Switzerland. Probably not helpful but thought I'd offer it up just in case!

Does sound a lot like a Jilly Cooper type story.

Oh TheNinjaWife that’s it! Thanks so much, that was driving me mad.

Thanks to everyone else for their suggestions, if definitely felt quite Jilly Cooper/Jackie Collins if that’s anyone’s thing!
