The Accidental Socialite by Stephanie Wahlstrom

The Accidental Socialite (The Accidental Socialite)

by Stephanie Wahlstrom

'It was 3am and all I wanted was a cheeseburger . . .'

Paige Crawford is the Accidental Socialite. Escaping small town Canada to make it in London, she's thrust into the limelight after an unfortunate incident involving a famous footballer, a nightclub and some really great shoes.

Being instantly elevated to tabloid celebrity status isn't exactly a picnic, particularly when trying to juggle her new job in fashion, a catalogue of dating disasters and a nagging feeling that maybe London won't be as easy to conquer as she'd thought . . .

If you love books by Tracy Bloom, Anna Bell, Rosie Blake or Sophie Kinsella, hold on to your Choos - the Accidental Socialite is romantic comedy at its best! Based on the adventures of a real-life London socialite, this is an all-access pass to life in the VIP area.

If you're looking for something that will seriously make you LAUGH OUT LOUD, this book is for you!
I really enjoyed this book. I haven't laughed this hard since I read the Chocolate Lovers series by Tara Sivec! It had me laughing within the first few pages...

Paige Crawford has graduated college and booked a one way ticket to London. Within her first day there she makes friends and already has been invited out that first night to hang out. Later that night while leaving The Box, the club that Jason (the cute guy she meets outside her Flat when she first arrives) invites her to, Paige, being drunk, trips and falls into the arms of a well known soccer player while the paparazzi are there to capture it on film. The next day she's an insta-celeb, which ends up being both a blessing and a curse.

I really enjoyed this story, so much I couldn't put it down to go to bed. Though, I have to warn you: The most disturbing thing I've ever read in a book happened at the beginning of this story. Though doesn't mean it didn't have me laughing after going 'OMGWTF?!'

My reaction to it:



and then:




I really hope that there will be a sequel to this story, because I would like to see what other shenanigans Paige will get herself in to.

If you're looking for a book that will give you a good haha giggle snort, I definitely suggest you check this book out. ;)
