By the way, for those of you still to go on your summer holiday, you can buy a copy of ‘Handbags and Hopscotch: the Essential Guide to Being a Girl’ here, written by my wonderfully talented friend, Lucy Mangan. It’s out in a couple of weeks. I’ve been invited to the Launch Party, though have no idea what one wears to that sort of thing. Don’t want to go all Bridget Jones, in an inappropriate dress and babbling incomprehensively about Salman Rushdie!
PS. Have just finished reading my ‘advance copy’ (I know, I warrant an advance copy- too exciting!) I have been booked in for surgery to replace the ribs that fell out from me laughing so hard. Have seriously not laughed so hard in public whilst reading a book since Bridget Jones came out.
What a talented friend you have. I hope you tell us all about the launch party!
