YLF reviews

Kate Kingsley has been a busy lady in the run up to publication and her new book YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS has been getting some great reviews:

Chicklish say 'I absolutely loved this book...Highly recommended to fans of gossipy, intrigue-filled books and anyone who enjoys being immersed in the fantasy-like world of troubled rich people.'
read the full review and an interview with Kate here.

Lisa Clark at pink-world asks 'Do you heart Gossip Girl? Er, hello, can I just say Dan Humphrey? Swoonsville. Have you read the books and watched your season one box set a gazillion times? If so, then I’m guessing you might be in need of a new glam-girl, label-crazy fix, right?
Well, get your manicured mitts on this, the most addictive, glamorous thing since…well…Gossip Girl. Young, Loaded & Fabulous by Kate Kingsley.'
For a chance to win one of five copies of the book and read another fabulous interview with kate visit pink-world.

Love Reading call YLF a 'wild read' that is 'not for the faint-hearted'. Check out the full review here.

And finally Sara Ann Leslie at Dragon Fly Book Reviews says 'set in 'posh-nosh' (for want of a better... ahem... word) boardings schools in England, this book is just un-put-downable and full of brilliance.' Read the full review here.

All fabulous stuff!

B Involved - YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS

It's review time again and the B Involved team seem to be loving YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS - take a look at what they think so far:

What a brilliant book this is! Kate Kingsley's first book about Alice and Tally, 2 young, rich and popular girls, is flipping amazing!!One of the best books I have ever read, and I totally recommend it. One of those few books you find hard to put down and so I read it in 2 days!!If you liked Gossip Girl and The It Girl, you will certainly love this!!

YLF is a brilliant start to an addictive new series set in the UK. We are introduced to a group of instantly likeable teenagers, who are both realistic and outrageous. Alice is just about to figure out her feelings for her best friend T, when his ex-American girlfriend unexpectedly turns up - bringing with her a whole host of trouble for the British socialites.If you're a fan of Gossip Girl or The It Girl, then you'll love the YLF series. It's a fresh take on teen life and the author, Kate Kingsley, has written a contemporary story of love, scandal and friendship.I would highly recommend this book, and look forward to future installments.

OMG! YLF by Kate Kingsley is THRILLING, BITCHY & ONE OF A KIND! With so many different personalities for each character, the encouragement for reading on is HUGE! It's the first book I've read by Kate Kingsley and it definitely won't be the last! Kingsley has kept me up late every night, with it being so hard to put the book down. Great job Kate Kingsley! xox

B Involved - GOSSIP GIRL THE CARLYLES: YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

Our first B Involved read was GOSSIP GIRL THE CARLYLES: YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH and here are the first reviews to come in. If you were lucky enough to get a copy of this book then submit your reviews soon and we'll add them to the blog!

Here's what our B Involved members think so far:

Once I started reading the book I wasn't able to put it down. The storyline in the book had me hooked from the very first page; and made me want to keep on reading the book. I think that the author is the best author in the world. The way the story has been written is so amazing and this makes me want to continue to read all the books in the series.

This book picks up straight after the first in the new Gossip Girl The Carlyles series and already I am enthralled by the new characters, the 3 triplets all have fascinating stories and there's enough scandal going on aswell, after all these books Gossip Girl is still as fun as ever and I really hope this series will continue for many more books just like the first one did!If you like the original Gossip Girl series or the TV show I really recommend this new series of books to you!

Bye Bye Blair, Serena and Nate and a big hello to the Carlyles. This is the 2nd book in the series following Baby, Avery and Owen's move to New York. I really enjoyed the book and I'm looking forward to the next...

Cecily Von Ziegesar has done it once again. She has written another book which you just can put down! You could say, You Just Cant Get Enough! I absolutley love the way that she writes. She really knows what every girl wishes to be able to do. This book is a must read. But be prepared as what you are going to read is not for good girls. Enjoy! I hadnt actually read the first one, but found that I didnt need to, I am really looking forward to the next book...

Just a quick review about GOSSIP GIRL THE CARLYLES: YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH, i thought that it was a great book...it was 'unputdownable' for me. When I started it, I really could not 'get enough' as the title of the book said. But I guess Cecily Von Ziegesar is just a GREAT teenage book author!!!
