About the author
Katie Price
75 books238 followersBorn as Katie Infield in Brighton, East Sussex, England on May 22 1978, I changed my last name to Price when my mother Amy remarried. I have an older brother, Daniel, and a younger sister, Sophie.
Although I had many interests when I was younger, a friend suggested that I should pursue a modeling career. So I sent a few shots to an agency and was taken on. I attended loads of castings, had my fair share of negative responses then one day, in a studio next to where I was working, a model failed to turn up for a shoot. The photographer asked around if anyone would be interested in doing a topless shoot… and the rest, as they say, is history!
My topless modeling career took off in 1996 when I appeared in The Sun as part of the ‘Page 3′ pictorial. The legendary section of the tabloid features a different girl each day posing topless. I was the first topless model to grace the Page 3 for a whole week – fully dressed on a Monday, then each day revealing more and more untill Friday – full topless. The exposure boosted my career and I soon became one of the UKs most famous models, under the pseudonym ‘Jordan.’
From there on I graced many magazine front covers , not just in the UK but also across Europe. My popularity soon reached even further afield and I posed for Playboy, landing on the front cover of the September 2002 issue.
I have been through many well-publicised relationships. And my illnesses, including the removal of a tumor from one of my fingers and complications with my pregnancies and family, have been very public.

Why I Read It: Let me preface this by saying that I did not read this book completely willingly. I have a fourth year English class called Theory and Criticism and my teacher wanted us to take theory and criticism and apply it to popular fiction, so at the beginning of last semester she gave the class a list of 3-4 best seller lists and the class voted on a book. This particular book was on a UK best seller list, which is unfortunate because 98% of my class is female. Now, I do also want to say that I have *nothing* against chick-lit. It's not MY cup of tea, but I don't judge people that read it, nor do I think it's all trashy. However, the synopsis of this book still just did not sound appealing to me. It also doesn't help that this is a celebrity-penned ghost-written novel, which I'm sorry, are really ever any good. Anyway, all this to say, I was not expecting to like this book and I was not at all surprised when I didn't.
Oh, and spoilers ahoy by the way.
All right, let's get the really obvious out of the way: this is not a well written book. Actually, I would go so far as to argue that this is potentially the WORST written novel I've ever read. An example of this is how people's physical appearance is described: instead of describing physical features, people are at times described by being compared to celebrities. For example, Jay, Sapphire's boy-toy/boyfriend and central character, is described as looking like an actor from the tv show Prison Break, which is puzzling, because it's later revealed that Jay is mulatto and the aforementioned actor is NOT. This is just one example, but there are many other instances of lazy writing.
The novel has a plethora of other problems. As you can probably tell from the summary, this is a book that pitches itself as feminist (the "I don't need a man!" attitude and "I don't believe in marriage!" attitude of Sapphire is the most predominant examples of this) but in the end, this book is not feminist in so many ways. Not to mention that only the women who are beautiful (like Sapphire) are happy and successful, whereas people like Sapphire's friend Sam, who's described as overweight and average-looking, is always living a life unfulfilled
There was also an instance in the book that REALLY bothered me. Sapphire runs a business where she organizes hen weekends (basically they're weekend-long bachelorette parties) and in the novel, she organizes one such hen weekend for a C-list soap-opera celebrity who is in a ton of magazines, so Sapphire wants to use her to promote business. However, said celebrity (who's name is Georgia) is upset when Sapphire's male stripper calls in sick. Because Sapphire is a dumbass, she calls her boyfriend Jay to come do the strip-tease instead! Brilliant. However, the ladies get out of control and literally try to RAPE Jay (Georgia tries to give him a blow-job clearly against his will, which qualifies as attempted rape to me). The novel alarmingly skims over this event. Yes, Jay is upset, but when Sapphire later faces him about it he says that the incident reminded him of when he was picked on in school for being half-black. WHY the novel wanted to defer this event to something else completely baffles me, and in the end is inconsiderate to BOTH issues (attempted rape and racism). Whenever the novel has a chance to be some kind of commentary on anything, it always defers the subject and I couldn't understand WHY. Also, there's a point later on in the novel when someone tries to rape Sapphire and it is a HUGE deal (for good reason -- it's frikken rape!), so why is it less of a big deal when it's a man who's almost raped?
During our discussion of his book in class, I got into a bit of a tiff with someone because she thought I was being too harsh on the book. "But this isn't a book you're supposed to think too hard about!! It's just supposed to be fun and that doesn't make it a bad book!!" To which I replied that, no, just because a book is light-hearted and fluffy does not make it bad. BUT, this book was riddled with so many problems that I couldn't enjoy it. The writing was terrible, and there were so many problems on an ideological level that this book made me ANGRY. And not because I was thinking about it too much; the problems were so glaring and in my face that I couldn't have ignored them even if I tried.
Final Verdict: Unsurprisingly, this was NOT the book for me. The writing was terrible and the book was riddled with so many problems besides: it poses as a feminist text when in many ways it's the opposite, whenever it touches on ANY kinds of issues (racism and rape, for example) the novel almost always defers them or doesn't really touch upon it in a satisfying way. I got some slack from my classmates (though I do want to point out that many others agreed with me) that I took the novel too seriously and that I should've just enjoyed the ride; I would've if I could've, but there's a difference between "light, fluffy and fun" to outright BAD and this novel definitely fell in the latter category.

Im suprised at how much I enjoyed this book with Katie Prices name on it. However I was gripped and finished it in a day! Its not wrote by Katie herself but you can see her influence straight away. Im not a great fan of hers but wouldnt be opposed to trying another one of her books as ive beeen told there is a few more!! Im not gonna drop any clues to this book as you can just read the back if you want an idea of the content, but would just like to say i was shocked at how much i enjoyed it and can definately say I recommend the read.

Sinceramente, cuando me llegó esta novela, no me hacía especial ilusión así que la he ido postergando, pero después de tanta juvenil paranormal –no tenéis más que ver mis últimas reseñas– buscaba algo que fuera divertido y completamente diferente, así que me propuse hincarle el diente a esta novela en la que no tenía puestas muchas esperanzas.
Para empezar, debo hablar de la autora, cosa que no suelo hacer, pero creo que no viene mal ponernos en situación. Katie Price, también conocida como Jordan, es una modelo glamour –una especie de pin-up moderna/cani recauchutada hasta las cejas– con mucha iniciativa que se ha metido a escritora, amén de otras cosas. Con esta premisa, yo pensé: ay lo que me voy a encontrar aquí, seguro que es un despropósito; pero no ha sido así. No sólo es una novela divertida, sino que ha conseguido emocionarme de una manera increíble, y sobre todo, un ejercicio de autocrítica por parte de la autora.
Sapphire lo tiene todo, y no quiere que su vida cambie ni un ápice si no es para conseguir que su negocio gane prestigio. Todo está bien como está. Sin embargo, la despedida de soltera de Georgia es algo muy jugoso, no todos los días se tiene la oportunidad de tener a una famosa en el negocio y piensa sacarle partido, lo que no sabe es que esa despedida, va a ser el detonante de una serie de hechos que cambiarán su vida para siempre. Todavía le duele la traición de su marido, así que la perspectiva de hacer negocios con él no le seduce y así conoce a Ryan, su socio, con quien entablará contactos más que profesionales y quien la llevará a descubrir lo que realmente quiere en la vida.
Amor, sexo, traiciones, violencia, Sapphire tiene un poco de todo y en las dosis adecuadas y, aunque el final es un tanto previsible –o más bien, es el final que una quería con todas sus ganas– los hechos se desencadenan de manera inesperada y nunca sabes con qué nueva maniobra te puede sorprender la autora.
He de ser sincera en este punto y decir que Sapphire me cae mal, es la típica tía que no querría tener como amiga: sólo piensa en sí misma y en su negocio y no presta atención a lo que sucede a su alrededor hasta que las cosas se ponen feas para ella y se da cuenta de la gente maravillosa que tiene a su lado, que sí que merecen la pena, como Jazz y Sam y, por supuesto, su novio Jay, que es amor. Creo que Katie se inspiró en sí misma para este personaje –no sólo en su aspecto, sino en la forma de ser– y está claro que la evolución de Sapphire durante la novela es sorprendente, tanto que al final, a pesar de que me parecía una petarda –no sabe valorar lo que tiene–, le he cogido cariño.
Aunque no puedo decir de Katie Price que sea una gran escritora, me ha sorprendido –claro que tendrá un equipo editorial detrás–, no sólo su estilo, que es directo, claro, sencillo, pero también lleno de matices, sino su forma de construir la historia y de hacer que unos hechos se encadenen con otros y conseguir enganchar al lector con una historia chick-lit pero con un toque dramático.
Sin duda, ha sido una gran sorpresa –para bien, claro está– y una demostración de que el talento está en cualquier parte. Divertida y también emocionante, la recomendaría sin dudarlo a todos aquellos que quieran leer chick-lit con un toque diferente. Y sobre todo, Sapphire es una oda a la mujer independiente que sabe valerse por sí misma, pero que no debe olvidar que hay más cosas y que, por muy independiente que sea, toda mujer necesita el calor de los suyos.

Where to start...
Right. When I first started to read this book I knew at once that I would hate it, but being as I am an awfully curious person I had to read it all the way through. So- Sapphire- the main character; she was, in a lack of a better word, disgusting. She was so arrogant and secure of her own looks that I hated her instantly. Okay, so I could have forgiven her if that had been her only bad traits, but no. She was mean as well. I stopped reading once in a while wishing she was in the room so I could have stabbed the s**t out of her. And that's the facts.
The only thing I liked about this book was one of the characters; Jay. But of course, the author had to ruin my view of him too at the end of the book. I mean, seriously? After all Sapphire put him through he still made up with her at the end. Thanks, way to go!
So; I really hated this book. At the end I actually started feeling sorry for Sapphire. This was because the author made Jay act almost as badly as Sapphire had at the start of the book. Almost, but not quite. But really, she deserved everything bad that happened. I might have felt that the book had been better if Sapphire had lost everything she had and Jay and Sam would have lived happy ever after. This book left me frustrated- not because it was good and I wanted more- it left me frustrated because I wish I never bought it in the first place.

Sapphire is probably my most favourite book witten by the amazing Katie Price who also follows my twitter! :) :) :)
I love the character of Sapphire because unlike other chick lit where the main character is immediately lovable, it takes time as the novel transgresses for you to love and respect her. She is beautiful, almost flawless you believe from the outset until you read further on. She owns her own lingerie and gen party boutique and has many friends but it does get really sad later on when you realise that the girl who appears to have everything is missing the one thing that most women want; true love. She had never really considered it before, until it came her way and she loses the one man who can make her life complete.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Stop reading now if you are planning on reading this book. . . . .
Later on in the novel, when Sapphire ends her relationship with the only decent guy she appears to have dated, it broke my heart when she realised that he was now in a relationship with one of her best friends. It took my breath away and through the rest of the book, I was hoping that it was just a ploy her friends had come up with to get them both back together! But no! Complete shocker! I felt so sorry for her, it seemed strange to me at first because on one level, i understood that she had treat him badly but i just didn't agree with her best friend having a relationship with him, such an awful feeling especially when i, as the reader knew that sapphire had fallen in love with him!
I must read this book again soon, it's a light hearted read, witty but caused me to cry the last time I read it.
fantastic book

Sapphire Jones doesn't believe in relationships anymore - not since she caught her husband in bed with another woman. Now Sapphire only sees men on her terms, which is why her current lover is younger than her, good-looking, doesn't place any emotional demands on her (so far, fingers crossed)and is great in bed. What more does a girl need?
Sapphire puts all her passion into running her own business - a high-end lingerie and hen weekend company. She is doing well and life seems pretty good, until she meets a very handsome, charming businessman who seems more than a match for Sapphire. Then things go badly wrong at the hen party she has planned for a soap star and tabloid darling. The evening is one that everyone will be talking about for all the wrong reasons, and Sapphire faces front-page headlines all of her own...
Suddenly her business is in jeopardy, her well-controlled private life is falling apart, and in the middle of all this sapphire realises that she is not immune to love after all, but has she left it too late?

Na knihu Na lásku nevěří jsem náhodou narazila v knihovně. Zaujala mě pěknou obálkou a následně anotací, která nezněla špatně. Jelikož jsem od autorky četla již jednu knihu, měla jsem v celku dobrou představu, co mám od její knihy očekávat. Ze začátku jsem měla problémy s hlavní hrdinkou, která mi, s prominutím, lezla na nervy, jelikož byla nesnesitelně naivní a hloupá. Doufala jsem, že se to snad dříve nebo později zlepší, ale stále nic a nic. Kromě hlavní hrdinky jsem jinak s knihou neměla tak závažné problémy, byla čtivá, milá, taková jednohubka, která se mi právě hodila, abych překonala čtecí blok, který nastal. Zároveň mě ale mrzelo, že je kniha velmi předvídatelná a vlastně průměrná, ale jako milá oddechovka dobrý, já jsem nakonec byla s knihou spokojená a hlavní hrdinka se na závěr knihy zlepšila, takže tak.

Having enjoyed another novel my Katie Price I was looking forward to another bit of brain fluff. Something light to read, brain candy if you will. That being said, I still want my brain candy to have some of the concepts that make a good novel. Character development being one of them.
We are introduced to Sapphire, who is written as a very self-focused and selfish character, lacking in empathy and common courtesy. She runs rough-shod over everyone in order to get her own way. This made for a bit of a painful read, but at least it could be something that the character could then improve over the course of the novel. Unfortunately this didn't happen.
I'm not going to go into further detail, but there were too many negatives for me to find this the diverting fluff I was hoping for.

Sapphire by Katie Price, as with her other books this story links in with characters from her previous books. However, the story is not the same as any of them especially as Sapphire is NOT a celebrity.
The storyline has a couple of twists in it and things get bad but improve. At times you can feel the emotion of the characters as you are reading through the pages. I think a lot of females can probably associate with the goings on with the partner/boyfriend and close female friends, I know for 1 I can.
Again you can see links to Katie's own life and things she has done. It is an easy but enjoyable read.

I liked Sapphire, it was refreshing for one of Katie's books to feature a regular girl who isn't a celebrity! Sapphire was burned in the past by her ex-husband, so now she isn't interested in a committed relationship. Her on-off boyfriend Jay has other ideas, though.
Another fun read from Katie Price. Her books are simple yet enjoyable. They won't win any literary awards, but she knows that and she has fun with what she creates. I love reading her books when I want something a bit fluffy and feel-good.

No Stars DNF!
I can handle crappy writing.
I can handle the use of the name Sapphire throughout with no nickname.
I can handle the protagonist being a terrible person and a hypocrite.
But I refuse to read Sapphire minimising the fact that her boyfriend was SEXUALLY ASSAULTED then PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED during one of the hen nights she organises because she forced him into filling in for her usual stripper who had the flu!!!!!!

I didn't know what to expect from this book and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it. The say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and this is definately the case with this one. I'm not at all a fan of the author (although I believe her books are ghost written) but I decided to give this the benefit of the doubt and I'm glad that I did.

If you know what to expect from a Katie Price novel then you won't be disappointed. Loved it just as much on this second read as I did in the first. Sapphire does have her flaws as a character, much like Angel and Crystal. She is quiet selfish and doesn't seem to count kissing as cheating. Still it's a fabulous read with a decent plot. Only for fans of chick lit though!

I liked this book, but it wasn't her best. Angel and crystal remain my favourites of hers, but I did like the way this book ended, and how the storyline kept twisting to keep you hooked to see if sapphire would really end up with jay. It was a nice short and easy read, but again, not my favourite.

tbh i didnt feel that there was really any real storyline to her new novel. unlike crystal and angel there was nothing in the story that really grabbed me and made me want to carry on reading this book.

I'm not fussed on Jordon/Katy but my friend ask me to read it so I did. It's fab, so funny, rude in places and towards the end of the novel you start to care about the characters. Theres loads of twists in the plot and keeps you on the edge of your seat through out. I would reckomend to anyone!

Sapphire Jones, has the perfect life, great boyfriend, successful business, and good friends, she likes to be in control at all times, but is that all about to change? I quite enjoyed this book, and would recommend.

Katie Price's novels are my guilty pleasure, and i'm not afraid to admit that i thoroughly enjoy reading them.
