'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.


Paige Crawford, former accidental socialite, has managed to shed her Z-list celebrity status and pull her life into a semblance of normalcy. But more importantly, she's close to proving to her family and herself that she can make it on her own . . .

That is, until she's laid off from her job and left with no choice but to leave London behind for good.

She hops on a plane headed home to Canada, only to decide to give herself one more chance to make it before hers becomes a life of "I told you so's." So instead of walking onto her connecting flight, she leaves JFK Airport and steps into the wilds of New York City, where she soon learns her misadventures have only just begun.

And while she juggles writing a popular blog, locating a missing male model, and a sexy new boss who reminds her a little too much of home, Paige is about to learn that "making it" has nothing to do with where you end up, but everything to do with how you get there.

Sharp, witty and entertaining, Paige's adventures are perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Tracey Bloom, Sophie Ranald and Samantha Tonge
