Isabel Bookbinder is the adorable series character from a bright new star in commercial women's fiction. 'A marvellously funny debut' Jilly Cooper

There's an aroma of fresh coffee and warming bagels as gorgeous bestselling novelist Isabel, 27, welcomes us into her sunny apartment, light glinting off the huge Tiffany diamond studs in her ears...

For Isabel Bookbinder, there's no doubt about where she's headed.

Reasons to become a bestselling author:
- Opportunities to swish new Super-hair and captivate the lovely Joe Madison
- Prove to father that Really Am Not a Waster
- Leave column inch-measuring days at the Saturday Mercury behind

Potential setbacks:
- Don't yet have 'Yoko' bag, as carried by arch rival with book deal, Gina D... or honed size eight figure (useful for interviews)
- Hmm. Am also at the centre of a major political sex scandal
- Paparazzi are doorstepping my parents and boring boyfriend Russell

Of course she hasn't yet quite got round to putting pen to paper yet, but Isabel's not one to let a little thing like that stand in her way ...

Praise for The Glamorous (Double) Life of Isabel Bookbinder

The witty world of Isabel Bookbinder hooked me instantly...a warm and captivating debut novel. A great book to read wrapped in your warmest pyjamas, with a cup of hot chocolate on a miserable winter's day

Yours

'like catching a snippet of gossip in the girls' loos and deciding you want to carry on listening ... As frivolous deckchair escapism...it certainly does the job'

Daily Mail

A marvellously funny debut

Jilly Coopers

I quite fell in love with Isabel. Funny, charming and accident prone, she is the perfect heroine for today
