Chick Lit discussion

Hi

I'm looking for recommendations of different authors to check out. I like Sophie Kinsella and I'm looking for more like her. Specifically I'm interested in light-hearted romantic comedies (emphasis more on the comedy). I'm especially interested in British authors and those who write in the 1st person like her. I've just come across Jane Costello, could anyone suggest anymore?

This Could Have Been Our Song! A Coulda Woulda Shoulda Ballad

You can check mine out if you want. If funny, set in London and Toronto, written in the first person and in different point of view. And it's a series.

I hope you give it a chance.
Danielle-Claude.

I would recommend any of the following:

Unscripted by Natalie Aaron
Finding Lucas by Samantha Stroh Bailey
Breaking the Rules by Cat Lavoie
Rita Hayworth's Shoes by Francine LaSala

They are all fabulous fun reads and cheap too :) I am addicted to chick lit so I can keep going!

And I'll include my books as well because it's hard to resist!

A State of Jane
Just Friends with Benefits

Happy reading!

Meredith

The above books are not British though...

Try Yours Truly by Kirstie Greenwood, anything by Talli Roland (She's Canadian but has a British writing style) and Michelle Gorman (American but living in the UK and has a British writing style).

All of my recommendations are written in the first person.

Thanks very much!

Hi
