Who is the best female author of chic lit today?

Question

Please give example of author's work and reason why you like the novel.

Answer 1

Janet Evanovich - she's not what you'd define as traditional chic lit, but she's laugh out loud funny.

Fiona Walker - the new Jilly Cooper.

Melissa Nathan - wonderful, well-rounded characters, more thoughtful than you'd expect.

Jennifer Crusie - cheesy, but very funny.

Anna Maxted - not light-hearted and can be intense.

Marian Keyes - the queen of the genre - funny, intense, emotional, intelligent.

Answer 2

Danielle Steel. The House- a story about a woman who buys an old house with inheritance and gets a more than she could ever have imagined out of the deal.

The Gift- A wonderful story about a girl who makes one mistake and get pregnant and is forced to give baby up for adoption.

Answer 3

Helen Fielding who wrote the Bridget Jones books. I liked them because I could relate. There was a lot of humor - this was one of the few times a book made me laugh out loud. I appreciate that Bridget was very flawed. Who wants to read about some beautiful woman with money searching for love?
