Blurb:
Jessica Beam is one hot mess. She knows how
to have fun (cider, men and the snooze button usually have something to
do with it) but lately she's been forgetting how to turn up for work on
time. Or in clean clothes. Suddenly finding herself out of a job, out of
luck with her friends and thrown out of her flat, she tracks down her
only family: her grandmother, in Kensington. She's never met Matilda
Beam before but hungover beggars can't be choosers.
Things aren't going quite so well for Grandma, either. Her 1950s Good Woman guide books are out of print, her mortgage is staggering and her granddaughter apparently wears neon Wonderbras. But when a publisher throws them a lifeline - a new contract if they can prove the Good Woman guides still work - Jess and Matilda have to work together if they want a roof over their heads.
Changing modern party girl Jess into a refined vintage lady is no mean feat and the true test of their makeover will be capturing the heart of snobby London playboy Leo Frost. It's going to take dedication, a seriously pointy bra and nerves of steel to pull it off..
Oh! The excitement! I just can't. YES. YESSS! Kirsty Greenwood is back, I feel the need to shout to the world and wake all the cute forest creatures up so they won't miss out on this. KIRSTY GREENWOOD is BACK, people! If there's an author who has the perfect blend of humour and charm in her book, it's Kirsty. Yours Truly was the amazeballs and I can't stop fidgeting as I type this. I have to read The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance ASAP.
The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance is out on 9th Apr 2015. (THE WAIT!)
