However, due to a lapse in judgement, Jessie looses everything - her dream job, which led to a decline in income meaning she looses her home and along with it her boyfriend, friends and lifestyle. I did enjoy the story - a girl who had the dream job on a television programme alongside one of her best friends. However, I when I started the book I found it was at a very slow pace. In 2009, Claudia was very excited to move publishers to Harper Collins (Avon) and published her first book with them, PERSONALLY, I BLAME MY FAIRY GODMOTHER, in 2010, also a bestseller.Īll her books are published by Harper Collins in the US and all are widely translated.I have not read any of Claudia Carroll's previous books and when I received this book I liked the synopsis and was looking forward to reading it. In 2008 she published her fifth novel, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET, then in 2009, she followed this up with IF THIS IS PARADISE, I WANT MY OLD LIFE BACK, which is now available in paperback and which has been optioned for a film by Canyon Creek Productions. Claudia is currently hassling producers for a walk-on part and very cheekily hoping they might throw in a free outfit too. Wendy’s previous credits include THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and PS, I LOVE YOU. In 2007, she published I NEVER FANCIED HIM ANYWAY, another bestseller, which Wendy Finerman (CBS) optioned for a movie. The only job, she reckons, where you can wear pyjamas, stare out the window all day, and still get paid.
This meant that Claudia could quit the day job and concentrate on writing full-time.
Then, the following year, her third book, REMIND ME AGAIN WHY I NEED A MAN was published and then optioned by Fox TV for a series in the US. In 2005, she followed this up with THE LAST OF THE GREAT ROMANTICS, another bestseller. It was published by Transworld in 2004 to critical acclaim and became an instant bestseller. She wrote her first novel, HE LOVES ME NOT, HE LOVES ME in the dressing rooms of RTE studios, when she was meant to be learning her lines. Claudia was born in Dublin, where she still lives.
