Charlie
Barrett is ready for a career change.
It’s not that ten years of modelling
haven’t been fun but, at 33,
a future of adverts for comfy cardigans
and the Stannah Stairlift looms large.
So when Charlie is offered the job
as the face of 2cool2btrue he snaps
it up. The web equivalent of Armani,
Prada and Gucci, 2cool2btrue is the
sexiest, smartest thing in cyberspace
and everyone wants a piece of it –
celebrities, the glitterati and the
press.
As marketing guru, Charlie’s
days are spent forging alliances with
other luxury brands, his nights a
whirl of launch parties and champagne.
However, when 2cool’s owners
disappear, along with a large amount
of money, Charlie unwittingly finds
himself under investigation for fraud.
As his relationship hits the rocks,
Charlie realises that one of his tormentors
from the press pack - an eccentric
and fantastically clumsy journalist
called Nora - may be his only hope…
"An
original plot and extremely funny
throughout." OK magazine
"This
is one for pop-culture addicts everywhere."
Company magazine
"[Brooke]
writes with knowing and mischievous
wit of the perils and pitfalls of
this wicked and insubstantial world."
The Sunday Express.
"A
wonderfully dark comedy of life at
the top. Thoroughly recommended."
London Independent.
"Brooke
has pitched this bitchy, caustically
funny book perfectly. Guys will love
it because it's achingly hip and witty,
girls will love it because it's just
downright sexy. It's one of the best
new novels in the lad lid genre to
hit the shelves." The Daily Record.
"Fast
paced, funny sharp and knowing."
Wendy Holden, author of The Wives
of Bath and Femme Fatale.
