Playing Around
London in the 1960s, and the city is swinging - what could be more exciting than being eighteen? But there is a dark side to Soho. . . Angie is eighteen years old, and, with the help of a mini skirt, a pair of false eyelashes and a tube of pale pink lipstick, has made herself into a beauty. She's living in London in the Swinging Sixties, and knows she's in the best city in the world at the best possible time. She's got that world at her pretty, white-booted feet as she dances the night away with every handsome bloke on the booming, strobe-lit floor of the Canvas Club. She's heard all the scare stories of course, about what drink, drugs and discotheques can do to young girls, but Angie knows she's different. After all, she's only playing around. But that was before that rainy night, when Angie got into the big, shiny car, leaving her friend Jackie in Soho to find her own way home.

Recommend by a friend this is my first book by this author. Set in the swinging sixty's it follows the life of a young girl who catches the eye of one of the local villains. A club owner with lots of money he soon turns Angie's head. Changing her name to Angel he puts her into one of his flats and she soon enjoys the good life no boring 9-5 job for her anymore. Being a tad naive Angel doesn't think he has a wife that's not so impressed with the situation. I recommend this book if you enjoy this genre a good read.
