Laura Lake and the Hipster Weddings is a slightly outrageous, wonderfully funny take on the world of glossy magazines. Wendy Holden was once a journalist on Tatler, and I like to think she might have had gathered some inspiration from her job!
Laura Lake is a wonderful character - determined, charismatic, still focused on her goal even when life doesn't seem to be doing her any favours. I absolutely adored her, and already can't wait for the next instalment (yes, this is the beginning of a series!). If you're a fan of The Devil Wears Prada then this book is very likely to appeal to you, however Laura Lake and the Hipster Weddings is, in my opinion, ten times funnier, with a cast of fantastic, eccentric characters that help make the book so addictive.
Laura Lake and the Celebrity Meltdown will be out in Spring 2018. Can't wait!

Holiday read. It was nice and easy to read but was just not my cup of tea. Yes it does have some funny parts but on the whole I couldn't relate to the characters, especially Laura Lake.

At first I did not like this as much as earlier works - but it soon won me over. Holden's humor as she makes gentle fun of "hipsters" does not fail to amuse.

Holy wow this was terrible (and yet somehow exactly what I needed in the middle of a new - albeit hopefully brief - lockdown. I even read another one in the series, which was maybe the tiniest bit less diabolical? Maybe? I also laughed, a lot - mostly at how ridiculous the writing was. Good times.)

This was an entertaining novel about a young lady who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes but is always rescued by a young gentleman. There were some entertaining elements but i didn't quite understand why some bits were in there, also the ending was a little too fast for my liking. I know this is the first book in a series so we're just being introduced to everyone but a little more sticking to the plot would have been much appreciated.
