West End Girls

A Novel

De: Jenny Colgan

Narrado por: Lucy Price-Lewis

The New York Times bestselling author of 500 Miles from You tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of twin sisters who set out to London in hopes of leaving their mark on the world, in this “gorgeous, glorious, uplifting” novel (Marian Keyes).

They may be twins, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites. Penny is the life of the party—loud and outrageous, while quiet and thoughtful Lizzy is often left out of the crowd. The one trait they do share is a longing to do something spectacular with their lives, and as far as these two are concerned, there’s no better place to make their dreams come true than London.

Presented with a once-in-a-lifetime house-sit at their grandmother’s home in a very desirable London neighborhood, it finally seems like Lizzie and Penny are a step closer to the exciting cosmopolitan life they’ve always wanted. But the more time they spend in the big city, they quickly discover it’s nothing like they expected. They may have to dream new dreams…but are they up to the challenge?

Always a lovely escape

I can always count on Jenny Colgan to give me a respite from the crazy world. Let the story take you away! I especially enjoy when the female love interest is not an unreal, unattainable standard of beauty and the man is also not your stereotypical romantic lead of the ropey arms and taut body. Give me a real man, by day!

Just an easy fun read

The book was interesting and enjoyable and just a fun read while puttering around the house!

Okay but not her best

Love Jenny Colgan, but this one was not her best. George was my favorite character. Hard for me to get into a story about rich girls and those whom pretend to be rich. And I did not care for the twins. Ending was cute. Minimal foul language throughout.

I love everything she does

I honestly love everything Jenny Colgan writes. This novel is a bit different from some of her previous novels… less about fish out of water, although it’s got a bit of that. It’s more about aspirations and dreams and even about family and how you just have to accept them as they are and not for how you wish them to be. Entertaining and just fantastic

cute quick listen

alittle slow to start, but picked up in the middle and the ending was cute
