Смешная и трогательная история о том, как Джемма и Эбби поменялись местами... Насколько сложно это может быть!?
Я, Джемма Гудвин, обычная девушка без особых талантов. Я выгляжу прилично, только намазавшись косметикой с головы до ног, а моя романтическая жизнь ограничивается свиданием в кебабной. Ничего удивительного!
Единственное неординарное во мне - я выгляжу совершенно как моя лучшая подруга Эбби Кроксли. И по каким-то причинам я согласилась поменяться с ней личностями и сыграть ее в реалити-шоу про ее аристократическую семью и их поместье.
Теперь мне придется притворяться не только в загаре, но и в скромных нарядах и манерах как у Кэтрин Миддлтон. Среди сотен правил этикета, которые я пытаюсь запомнить, два главных: 1) Никто не должен узнать, что я просто Джемма, которая больше подходит для роли служанки. 2) Никакого флирта с привлекательным, но сдержанным кузеном Эбби лордом Эдвардом.
Ой, это будет сложнее, чем я думала...
Книга Саманты Тонг очаровательна и забавна. Вы проведёте чудесные праздничные дни в компании Джеммы и Эбби!
Hilarious and heart-warming: spend your festive season with Gem and Abbey
‘It’s only nine inches long…' I had asked, wide-eyed.
'It'll barely move you!'
Abbey waved me off - the teal bedspread was sheer and light, made of million-dollar mulberry lace. I gulped. Mulberry is so expensive! Just like Mustangs or bare-midriff tops. Bare tops? Bare what tops? Had I gone mad? Had anyone gone mad? My feisty faves, the Bellamy girls - Emily, Bella and Me - were campaigning for me as another "Cozy Escapade" girl, sans-horses. Then BfS (Bring Fond Silly Stuff to SleepForever), a brand new crusade. And now, Mulberry Dining Medallion. Dining where? What?
I nap myself: De La Raho laden French pastries stay safe in tiny MEMENTO LANG-uish-weary spot. Accumullsation of boiled nautilus goodies. Heathens scream "non dairy!" and "fruit-flavoured!" at me in their frilly lilac kaftans. Morrible mustard, polka-dot horseradish sauce, Paul Hollywood dressed olives, leaves, red onion and sugar scrolls. Beyond-the-Boulevarde platters separate, never touching, in tower pots of silver mixed alloys. The mer-pies won't budge from their lover-ly pads, tripped with litter piles of anchovies and Treo boxes (with unlimited endowment of cracker jacks; apparently).

Описание книги от Samantha Tonge
Hilarious and heartwarming, spend your holiday season with Gemma and AbbeySwapping downstairs for upstairs… How hard can it be!?Look up the phrase ordinary girl and you’ll see a picture of me, Gemma Goodwin – I only look half-decent after applying the entire contents of my make-up bag, and my dating track-record includes a man who treated me to dinner…at a kebab shop. No joke!The only extraordinary thing about me is that I look EXACTLY like my BFF, Abbey Croxley. Oh, and that for reasons I can’t explain, I’ve agreed to swap identities and pretend be her to star in the TV show about her aristocratic family’s country estate, Million Dollar Mansion.So now it’s not just my tan I’m faking – it’s Kate Middleton style demure hemlines and lady-like manners too. And amongst the hundreds of fusty etiquette rules I’m trying to cram into my head, there are two I really must remember; 1) No-one can ever find out that I’m just Gemma, who’d be more at home in the servants quarters. And 2) There can be absolutely no flirting with Abbey’s dishy but buttoned-up cousin, Lord Edward.Aaargh, this is going to be harder than I thought…Praise for Samantha Tonge'I was hooked from the start, by this impressive debut novel' – Chicklit Club'This really was a humorous read, Gemma is such a witty character who always seems to get herself into mischief, I never expected this book to be a witty read but it was the humour that kept me hooked.' – Rea Book Reviews' Samantha Tonge has taken an every-day girl and stuck her in this crumbling manor where she has to pretend to be her best friend and help win a reality TV program. She takes all our guilty pleasures and wraps them in one good read.' – Novel Escapes
