Weisberger's previous novel I read "The Devil Wears Prada" I did not enjoy and found her style of writing to be quite unrealistic of a women's perspective and what a women would want to read. However, in this book it is very much so in the style of Sex and The City and is set in New York so that was Point number 1 for selling this novel to me. Number 2 was the creative storyline of 3 women all in New York, bestfriends who all make a pact that they change a feauture of there lifes. There is no big shockers and I feel that Weisberger's style of writing is still subtle and she doesn't really create a big tension in the novel but creates a lot for women to discuss and share opinions on. The fact that there are talks of this book becoming a movie just like A Devil Wears Prada has excited me as even whilst i was reading this novel I could imagine it being a film just like Sex and The City.
****-4 Star Rating
This autobiography starts from the very beginning of these girls journey to the very present moment in time when the book was released which was 2008. The book lets each member have a say on everything from there family upbringings to there journeys to becoming stars. They each have a section which shows photography of them from when they was little to them now, and each have a factual page about there likes and dislikes. The autobiography is full of pictures and bright colours to keep the readers entertained whilst reading it and to show the readers particular events which are mentioned. For a Girls Aloud fan this book would be ideal as it really gave a better insight into particular members who are quite quiet in the media. The girls who really show a nice sentimental side to them in this book would be Cheryl, Kimberley and Nadine. Sarah is the most shocking as I personally imagined her to be the most loudest and confident member which she is most definetly not after reading this. Nicola on the other hand comes across confident and cocky and annoyed me throughout reading this book.
