And although Steve was the kind of beta-hero I love, he appeared not enough times. Moreover, I appreciated how went family dynamics - but I was little interested. The first part, the downfall, was too long. Nonetheless, almost all the time "it was only ok". It was an interesting chick-lit with a bit of romance. I don't know, but I want to do this disclaimer. So perhaps, the way I read it influenced my impression. There was not much time for reading, just a few pages on the playground, a few pages on the beach, etc. I had chosen it for my time as a nanny of my nieces. In 2009, Claudia was very excited to move publishers to Harper Collins (Avon) and published her first book with them, PERSONALLY, I BLAME MY FAIRY GODMOTHER, in 2010, also a bestseller.Īll her books are published by Harper Collins in the US and all are widely translated.I think I did finish it only because I was "condemned to" this book.


In 2008 she published her fifth novel, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET, then in 2009, she followed this up with IF THIS IS PARADISE, I WANT MY OLD LIFE BACK, which is now available in paperback and which has been optioned for a film by Canyon Creek Productions. Claudia is currently hassling producers for a walk-on part and very cheekily hoping they might throw in a free outfit too. Wendy’s previous credits include THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and PS, I LOVE YOU. In 2007, she published I NEVER FANCIED HIM ANYWAY, another bestseller, which Wendy Finerman (CBS) optioned for a movie. The only job, she reckons, where you can wear pyjamas, stare out the window all day, and still get paid. This meant that Claudia could quit the day job and concentrate on writing full-time. Then, the following year, her third book, REMIND ME AGAIN WHY I NEED A MAN was published and then optioned by Fox TV for a series in the US. In 2005, she followed this up with THE LAST OF THE GREAT ROMANTICS, another bestseller. It was published by Transworld in 2004 to critical acclaim and became an instant bestseller. She wrote her first novel, HE LOVES ME NOT, HE LOVES ME in the dressing rooms of RTE studios, when she was meant to be learning her lines. Claudia was born in Dublin, where she still lives.
