I bought this book because I was not careful in the store and thought I had found a Jackie Collins book I hadn't read. Yeah once I started reading it I realized that writing style is just another area where Joan differs from Jackie. This was not the fun trashy to read romp I was hoping for. Ah well. I shall be more careful when picking up books in the future.
