    The book I will review is - “West end girls - Jenny Colgan”. Lizzie and Penny are twins, but couldn’t be more different if they tried. After a reasonably unsuccessful trip to London to make her fortune, their mother Eilish came back with not one, but two reminders of her time there and of the love rat that then dumped her! Now 27 years later things couldn’t be more different, or stagnant! Penny is vivacious, beautiful, thin and seems to have the ideal existence.

    1 Star Pure fluff, of the worst kind. 21/08/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages uninspired plotline, stereotyped characters, no substance

    With a long train journey ahead of me and nothing to read, I stepped into the bookstore, looking for something light to keep me occupied.

    Advantages Advantages Easy to follow storyline

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes to predictable

    West End Girls follows twin sisters Lizzie and Penny as they embark on a new life in London. The main charcters of the book Penny and Lizze are twin sisters who are complete opposites, whilst Penny is confident, thin, and outrageous Lizzie is more thoughtful, quite and not thin ( not really sure what weight has to do with anything but Jenny felt this was an important point to get across) anyway the twins do have one thing in common and that wanting to do something more with their lives then live with their mom. This opportunity comes when a grandma they didn't know they had contacts them to ... more
