How to Get Ahead In Television by Sophie Cousens

4.0

Poppy Penfold is an ambitious 22 year old, graduated with a degree in History.

'Poppy's Steps Towards Becoming A Proper Grown Up' introduces the reader in a humorous way of what to expect in each chapter. She realises life is not what it is cut out to be after graduating. Sending out several CV's in attempt to gain employment. Poppy finally discovers a placement at RealiTV.
The supporting characters were her family, friend Natasha and work colleagues.

I thoroughly enjoyed how each chapter was set out as a 'step'. Furthermore, the emails and text messages made me feel like I was a part of her life. At some points I thought 'Gosh look at all this gossip, I can't believe what kind of people I work with'.
My favourite characters had to be Poppy and Barbara Penfold.

I really don't want to say more since the book really speaks for itself - extremely funny, light read, highly recommend!
