Unsticky

Unsticky
Sarra Manning

'Unsticky' tells the tale of Grace Reeves, a skint twenty something fashion journalist with an addiction to designer anything. The aforementioned shopping habit is the reason that Grace can't afford to eat anything but bananas and noodles, and is also responsible for the threatening letters from bailiffs. Grace thinks she's hit an all time low when she gets dumped (on her birthday) in the middle of her favourite shop. Then she meets Vaughn- older, sexy, and most importantly, filthy rich. After chocolate cake, and a Marc Jacobs handbag, Vaughn offers Grace a wage in return for her services as his mistress. Naturally, complications ensue.

'Unsticky' is Sarra Manning's first adult novel and it doesn't disappoint. It is grittier and more real than the average chick-lit novel with a believable, if slightly sulky, protagonist. 'Unsticky' is a light read, and it is a "girl's" book, but it's also funny and enjoyable. I'd thoroughly recommend it.
