Summary

Sophie is a girl about town - living the party lifestyle with Daddy footing the bill. But when she gets embroiled in a scandalous affair, she is thrown out of home and left to fend for herself on the mean streets of London. Scraping a living as a cleaner in a photographic studio, living in a bedsit on the Old Kent Road, eating baked beans from the can - this is one spectacular fall from grace. On top of that, she is papped by photographers every time she leaves the flat, with her so-called friends laughing at her downfall. But stepping in to solve a crisis at the studio, Sophie discovers that she is also quite handy with a camera, and a new career behind the lens is born.

But when she is hired as the photographer for a society wedding, Sophie is thrust back into her old lifestyle, and discovers that perhaps money can't buy you happiness after all...

Very enjoyable listen

Although not quite as good as her more recent books, I loved this older one from Jenny Colgan. It had such a meaningful plotline. I really felt like I knew the characters, and even liked some of them (you’ll see what I mean lol). I was really rooting for Sophie to end up with the right man as she seemed like such a lovely character, and thank heavens she did, otherwise I think I would’ve been sending a strongly worded email to Jenny. An educational book too, reminding us that money doesn’t necessarily bring a good productive life, self awareness, or happiness - although as I think we all know, it helps.
The narrator is excellent, perfectly suited to this book.
Well worth a listen.
