I am here to unravel my thoughts on this glamorous read as its my turn on the blog tour.
Detangling the plot: Innocent Phoebe has only known a life of privilege.
Street-smart Paula has had to make her own way in the world.
When the two girls meet as teenagers, they form a deep sisterly bond, recognising in one another a yearning for love and for lives that are different from the ones they were born into. But when they each suffer a personal trauma, they are torn apart and set out on very different paths.
So begins a rollercoaster journey throughout the 1970s of extreme highs and lows for Phoebe and Paula, as they travel from the epicentre of cool on the Kings Road, Chelsea, to the glamour of Paris, LA and the South of France.
It's a scandalous world of sex, drugs, celebrity and wealth - alluring, addictive...and deceptive.
Bobs and Books honest review:
Ooh I liked this one. It is a bit of long one so strap yourself in, you are in for one ride!
Focus is on Phoebe and Paula who meet at school age. Due to various events in their lives, they keep in and out of touch and support/champion each other throughout. Their relationship is so strong and its heart warming to read that whilst they have each other they do much better.
Lots of dramatic events occur (too many to mention and won't spoil) which forces the paths of their lives to alter in very unexpected ways. Although set in 1970s I did feel that it could be timeless as the issues the women face are no different to now (worrying yet relatable too I guess).Some really great minor characters too.
Its hard hitting at times, honest, glamourous, sinister and mysterious all wrapped into one.
