    About this audiobook

    From beloved New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan, a heartwarming and hilarious comedy about a pampered London socialite forced to live life among the common folk.

    Sophie Chesterton is London’s “It Girl”. She knows all the right people, goes to all the right parties, and wears all the right clothes…and her rich parents pay for everything. But deep down she suspects that her best “friends”—and her posh lifestyle--are nothing but shallow fakes. Then one evening Sophie’s life takes a shocking, drastic turn, and her father decides it’s high time for the party girl to make her own way in the world.

    Forced to earn a meager living as a lowly assistant to a “glamour” photographer, live in a shabby flat with four smelly boys, and eat baked beans from the can—Sophie is desperate to get her old life back, at any cost. But does a girl really need diamonds to be happy?

    Full of warmth and sparkle, Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend is a surprisingly winning tale about luxury, life lessons, and the surprisingly low cost of true happiness.

      I sometimes get messages stating how dumb I am for giving a fluffy romance book 5 stars. First it's my opinion and if you don't agree great but I happen to love well written light hearted romance books. Especially those that can make me laugh and this book had me laughing so often. I loved the main character Sophie and I loved this whole story line. She was this rich spoiled yet very loved by her father 25 year old girl. In order to get her money she had to move out of the house (mansion) she had lived in her whole life and she could take nothing with her. Clothing was all she could take and she had to learn to live without all the comforts she was accustomed to. She had to live this way for 6 months.

      It was such a fun book. I loved all the guys she moved in with and the Wolverine the dog.

      I HIGHLY recommend this book and author to everyone!!!
