Liz is a career woman who is desperately trying to break through the glass ceiling in the world of finance, Betsy is the motherly figure with more than enough on her plate, while Ellie is a wild party girl, hooked on having a good time.
As the lives of the three become increasingly interwoven, the sudden financial crisis creates a different set of problems for each one, as they battle to maintain their individual lifestyles.
And as it deepens they find that the pressure of life becomes almost unbearable, as Liz loses her job, Betsy’s mother dies and Ellie is assaulted while out one night.
As lives begin to unravel, Liz suffers a crisis as her increasingly bizarre behaviour spirals out of control and she suddenly finds herself shunned by the people she knows.
Rescued by friends, life begins to look a little brighter and there is yet one last surprise for her. The question is, will Liz be able to regain control, or is it already too late for her?
I read it cover to cover without putting it down. I actually wanted there to be more when I got to the last page and kept checking it was the last page. You can just see movie script written all over this I think...
Fantastic book. Read it in two sittings. Loved the twist. Really enjoyed it. It had me from the start desperate to know what happened and how it would all work out. More please.
This book follows the lives of 3 women.... all very different but bound by one thing in common. There are plenty of twists in the book... at least two will have you gasping out loud, Looking forward to reading more from this wonderful author
I love the idea that women can be so many things and don’t fit into one role without being others. This as part of my motivation in writing The Girl Who Just Wanted to Have Fun. It is a story with a twist, of three women who are each successful in their own way, but who each harbour a problem they are struggling to hide from the outside world.
