The Greatest Guilty Pleasures by Madeleine Wickham ...

Chelsie

My first introduction to reading books by Madeleine Wickham was through the popular Shopaholic series she wrote. One book from the series, “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” was even made into a movie, which put Madeleine Wickham on the map. It is very fortunate the movie did put Wickham on the map, because there a seven other wonderful books by Madeleine Wickham outside of the Shopaholic series that are fun and enjoyable guilty pleasures to read.

1. Cocktails for Three

Cocktails for Three “Cocktails for Three” was one of the first books by Madeleine Wickham that I read. It is a fun book about three successful women, Roxanne, Maggie, and Candice. They all have busy careers in the magazine industry, but they make an effort to get together once a month for cocktails. When the book opens, the cocktails have become a routine in the women’s lives, but their lives are about to change and their friendship is about to be tested.

2. Sleeping Arrangements

Sleeping Arrangements “Sleeping Arrangements” is a fun book about two families who have never met and end up having to share a vacation villa in Spain. The situation in and of itself is enough of a set up for a great book, but there is added intrigue that makes the book even better. Although the families have never officially met, the husband from one family and the wife from the other dated a long time ago. The intrigue comes from the fact that no one knows this secret, and the reader is left to find out what happens, and if the secret ever comes out.

I love her books!

I love her novels as Sophie Kinsella (even though Becky Bloomwood would annoy me at times), but I find that her novels as Madeleine Wickham would be a hit or miss for me. Is that weird? 😓
