About this listen

The spoilt daughter. The ice-queen wife. The ruthless mistress. Let battle commence....

Stunning good looks and a bottomless trust fund, London's leading It Girl, Lola Fitzsimmons, leads a charmed life, her rich father funding her every whim. Evie on the other hand has had to work her own way up life's greasy pole - literally! But, having hooked an indulgent sugar daddy, Evie has been able to give up her pole-dancing career, abandoning New York's strip bars for a luxury Manhattan penthouse.

Then overnight, Lola's credit cards are refused and Evie is abruptly thrown out onto the streets. One woman lies behind their misfortune. Lola’s icy stepmother has seized control of the purse strings, the same stepmother who happens to be married to Evie's sugar daddy. Although the two girls loathe each other, Lola and Evie must team up if they are to defeat their common enemy.

Critic reviews

“'A classic tale of bitchy women fighting their way to the top” (Daily Mirror)

I had been enjoying multiple books from this author until then, really enjoyed the escapism but this has ruined it. I've since discovered this is a pattern with this author. The negative depictions of a trans character starts immediately within the first few chapters of Divas. I couldn't even finish it. It was released over a decade ago so I recognise that society has progressed since then & I'd hoped she wouldn't have written about a character like that now. Her views still persist obviously because of Bad Twins which was released in 2018, using less name calling (which is constant at the start of Divas) but still fixating on anatomy and sex rather than giving her the same depth as the other characters. Can't support an author like this.

Hasn't aged well, horrible rep of trans character
