Cause Celeb
Cause Celeb | Helen Fielding
3 posts | 14 read | 1 to read
Disillusioned with life as a literary publicist in London and sick of her hotshot TV presenter boyfriend, twenty-something Rosie Richardson decides to give up glitz for good deeds and escape to Africa to run a refugee camp. When famine strikes and a massive refugee influx threatens to overwhelm the camp, officials drag their heels. The only way to get food fast is to bring the celebrities first, so Rosie returns to London to organize a star-studded and risky emergency appeal. Deftly skewering the world of celebrity fundraising, Fielding's debut novel is both comic and thought-provoking. Cause Celeb crackles with insights into the nature of fame, passion, and altruism in our time, all the while following an unlikely-but hugely likeable-heroine.

I have mixed feelings about this book.
It's part chick-lit, with shallow characters and ridiculous situations, and part drama, describing a very serious humanitarian project in Africa.
The chick-lit part is nothing unique, the drama part is beautifully written.
Somehow, the two halves just didn't come together for me.

I was so bored with this one. I felt like it was never going to end and I hated all of the characters. I thought this would be a fun one because I love Bridget Jones, but I wish I had passed on this one.
