Marrying for Money

I know – I am back with the chick-lit even though I actually started reading a very sober and sensible book (The Undercover Economist) – but I need something to speed up my pace G

Enjoyed this one while sitting in the sunshine this Saturday afternoon – lovely way to spend a few hours, even though it depressed me a little that Charity seems to be so obsessed with money…

Review from amazon.co.uk:
When the glamorous Grosvenor sisters arrive in the exclusive Hamptons beach town of Little Elbow, they can’t help but cause a stir. Gorgeous Grace and Charming Charity are soon hot favourites on everybody’s guest-list. Except that of their neighbour, Marcella Hunter. Heiress Marcella doesn’t want the competition and when Grace starts dating Marcella’s ‘Plan B’ man – dull but extraordinarily rich Choate Fitzgerald – the gloves are off. Marcella determines to find out where the sisters really came from. And exactly how they can afford to rent a six-bedroom beach house in this millionaires’ playground. In the process, however, it’s discovered that quite a few of the people spending that summer in Little Elbow are not exactly what they seem…

My rating: ***
