I don't know why I put off reading Glamour for six months. It sat on my bookshelf for six months (waiting for me to review it). I'm ashamed to admit that I probably judged this book by its cover. Not only did I demean Glamour in such a stereotypical way, but I also shot it down because I thought it would be cheeky chic lit that wouldn't have much of a plot if any.

Boy, was I wrong.

I'm glad to have misjudged Glamour the way I did. Yes, that probably sounds bad, but sometimes it's good to go into something expecting it to be not great, and then having it turn out to be really really good.

In Glamour, "Texan honey Sally Lassiter, English rose Jane Morgan, and exotic Jordanian beauty Helen Yanna meet at an exclusive girls' school in L.A. and vow that nothing will ever tear them apart. But when catastrophe strikes, two of the young women find themselves grieving and penniless, and the third will be forced into a fate she could never have foreseen."

I'm amazed at the way that Bagshawe so beautifully and brilliantly exposed the character and story of all three girls. Each was in her own right a unique character that was widely developed and brilliantly written. Bagshawe's writing is superb. I will definitely be reading more of her works.
