Polly Atkins is getting married. She's can't wait to walk down the aisle behind her childhood ally, especially as the stylish Polly wouldn't dream of dressing her bridesmaids in anything but the best, which will make a welcome change to the 'mum-wear' she's adopted since her second child was born.
Aspiring designer Isabel Bookbinder lands a job with Nancy 'Fashion Aristocracy' Tavistock, believing her career is on the right path. Passionate about fashion, she distinguishes between various brands and is always immersed in fashion magazines.
Isabel Bookbinder dreams of pearly white weddings, happy brides, handsome grooms. And champagne towers that don't topple over. She dreams of the perfect wedding. But not for herself...for her clients. It's all about bride management as far as Isabel's concerned. Even when she misplaces a couple of brides and loses her job working for wedding guru Pippa Everitt, Isabel isn't disheartened. She throws herself straight into launching Isabel Bookbinder, Individual Weddings, and with a pop starlet and a millionaire as her first clients, business is looking rosy. Unfortunately for Isabel, nothing ever goes quite according to plan...
There's an aroma of fresh coffee and warming bagels as gorgeous bestselling novelist Isabel, 27, welcomes us into her sunny apartment, light glinting off the huge Tiffany diamond studs in her ears. For Isabel Bookbinder, there's no doubt about where she's headed. Reasons to become a bestselling author: Opportunities to swish new Super-hair and captivate the lovely Joe Madison; Prove to father that Really Am Not a Waster; Leave column inch-measuring days at the Saturday Mercury behind Potential setbacks; Don't yet have 'Yoko' bag, as carried by arch rival with book deal, Gina D ...or honed size eight figure (useful for interviews). Am also at the centre of a major political sex scandal - Paparazzi are doorstepping my parents and boring boyfriend Russell. Of course she hasn't yet quite got round to putting pen to paper yet, but Isabel's not one to let a little thing like that stand in her way.
Het leven van Isabel Bookbinder is niet bepaald opwindend. Ze heeft een saai vriendje en een duffe baan. Gelukkig heeft de altijd optimistische Isabel een geweldig plan. Ze gaat een bestseller schrijven. Ze wordt beroemd! Er staat natuurlijk nog geen letter op papier, maar Isabel dagdroomt er lustig op los. Tot ze op haar werk per ongeluk een enorme blunder maakt, die uitgroeit tot een politiek seksschandaal. Opgejaagd door de paparazzi (en misschien ook wel de geheime dienst) zwalkt Isabel van het ene naar het andere crisismoment. Die bestseller moet en zal er komen - maar nu even niet.
