About this ebook

According to the old rhyme, ‘Monday’s child is fair of face’ - but life isn’t always so simple. Gorgeous goddesses seem to surround script-reader and wannabe movie-maker Anna Brown - from her deranged glamour-queen boss to her perfect, pouting flat-mates - for Anna, being less-than-beautiful is very hard to bear. In fashion-and-beauty-crazed London, perhaps being talented just isn’t enough. Enter Mark Swan, Britain's hottest director. Rugged, reclusive and powerful, he could be Anna's ticket to the top, but how can she ever hope to snag such a big star? Fed up of being downbeat and dowdy, Anna decides to chase her dreams and, with a little help from her friends, embarks on a madcap scheme to get just what she’s after...

Ratings and reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed story, with strong female character and great sense of humour in book. Good Saturday afternoon read on a miserable rainy afternoon, which kept me amused for a few hours. Definitely recommend.

fun all the way - a very enjoyable read

Loved it. Absolutely no boring bits!
