Don't Believe the Hype
Don't Believe the Hype: 'An addictive, glorious romp' Clare Pooley | Natalie Lewis
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
'An addictive, glorious romp . . . Don't Believe the Hype feels like spending time with your funniest, most gossipy, best dressed friend' Clare Pooley The world of fashion is supposed to be glamorous . . . isn't it? Meet Frankie Marks: the world's least likely fashion PR. She got the job by fluke, she doesn't know the first thing about designers, she's always hungry, and she struggles to think before she speaks. When Frankie crash-lands in the prestigious GGC agency, her friends and family can't believe it - least of all her long-term (and long-suffering) boyfriend, James. Frankie quickly realises she needs to use everything she's got to survive life behind the scenes of this glamorous and chaotic industry - with its eccentric characters, towering expectations, and quite frankly ridiculous requests. But first, she needs to learn the difference between velour and velvet . . . As the pressure builds and Frankie's personal life begins to take the hit, she starts to wonder if she'll ever manage to escape the strange world of fashion unscathed. And, for that matter, does she even want to?

I finished a second book recommended by my #AuldLangSpine partner @Birdsong28 ❤️ - a fun romp through the public relations world of fashion in London. A solid, eccentric group of workmates working in a pretty despicable world of celebrity. The leading lady Frankie finds herself as she realizes she pretty good at handling the crap she is handed. If there is sequel, she will get her feet fully under her and create some clever boundaries.

Birdsong28 Glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun read. 4mo

Good. Nice easy story. The hustle and bustle of the fashion world shines through on every page and you feel like you are in the thick of it. The characters feel real and relatable. Thank you #HodderandStoughton for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.
