About the author

Cherry Whytock's shoe collection has increased dramatically since a recent trip to Morocco with her husband. When she's not rearranging her footwear or waiting for her two beautiful daughters to become fabulously famous, she can be found upside down in her Kentish flowerbeds, weeding. Sometimes Lily the boxer helps, but not often.

Cherry loves Vogue magazine, lacy underwear, and face cream, and would like to become a style icon when she grows up.

Angelica Cookson Potts is back- having survived her first (and probably) last run as a model. She is whisked off to Scotland on a family vacation and while there, her father, Potty, as he is affectionately known, discovers that the haggis their local supermarket is selling does NOT come from Scotland as they claim. This news sets her father off on adventure which includes protests, a press conference, and jail time, and leads (somehow) to Angel's first kiss from Sydney, a boy she's always found revolting and now finds herself swooning over. - TO BE CONTINUED-

READ IN DUTCH

Dit is uitgegeven als een Tina Topper, toen ik de boeken net begon te kopen in de winkel en te verzamelen via internet en rommelmarkt. Het zijn allemaal korte verhalen (meestal rond de 120 pagina's) en verzorgen een ontspannen, lezende middag. Ze lijken me het meeste geschikt voor lezers in de leeftijd tussen de 10 en 13 jaar, maar dat kan ook een beetje van het boek afhangen, aangezien ze door zoveel verschillende schrijfsters zijn geschreven.
Dit specefieke boek is onderdeel van een serie, waarvan er ook meerdere delen zijn uitgegeven als Tina Topper. (Niet direct na elkaar, maar zoek voor de boeken van Cherry Whytock, en het wijst zichzelf helemaal uit!)

Very light chick lit for young teen girls. This little book is full of hyperventilating excitement over very anguish-making things like girfriends moving across the world and boys picking on you but really liking you and wierdo parents. Mix this with a little mystery and recipes and cartoon drawings and you have a very sweet summer read if you are twelve or thirteen.

The sequel is just as entertaining as My Cup Runneth Over is! This light-hearted chick lit fluff will keep teen girls laughing with the pop British tones, obsession with good food, and nefarious boys who just might be worthing kissing after all.

it is a good book to read while pumping as I don't have to concentrate too much. Along the lines of Louise Rennison books, but not in journal style.

Fun. Cute artwork. Nothing earth shattering.

[Harri · Rating 1 out of 5]

Normally I like light teen fiction but there was something about the character and her ridiculously posh life that meant I just couldn't get into this one, it was completely unrelatable.

Cute. Short. Illustrations.
