Description

“Wives Like Us made me laugh so hard I actually knocked over my lamp. Can a book be so wickedly smart, so effortless, so chic and hilarious that you would stumble through the night to find a new lightbulb just so you can keep reading way past your bedtime? In a word, yes." —Kevin KwanTake a grand English country house, one (heartbroken) American divorcee, three rich wives, two tycoons, a pair of miniature sausage dogs and one (bereaved) butler; put them all into the blender and out comes the impossibly funny Wives Like Us, the new novel from the best-selling author of Bergdorf Blondes and Party Girls Die In Pearls, Plum Sykes.If you think the English countryside is all green wellies, muddy Land Rovers and grey-haired ladies in tweed, then you’ve never visited ‘The Bottoms.’Welcome to the rose-strewn county of Oxfordshire, and the tony Cotswold villages of Little Bottom, Middle Bottom, Great Bottom, and Monkton Bottom, recently annexed by a glittering new breed of female: the Country Princess. Following a ghastly row about a missing suite of diamonds, Tata Hawkins has flounced out of Monkton Bottom Manor with her daughter, Minty, and Executive Butler Ian Palmer in tow, decamping to The Old Coach House to teach her husband Bryan a lesson.But things don’t go to plan: Bryan disappears to Venice with a bikini designer; Selby Fairfax, the glamorous American divorcée who has inherited the beautiful estate next door, is refusing Tata’s overtures at friendship; Tata’s best friends, Sophie Thompson and Fernanda Ovington- Williams, are distracted by their own heartache, and the posh Pennybacker- Hoare sisters are plotting to prevent Tata regaining her crown as Queen of the Bottoms. Worst of all, Ian has nowhere to store his collection of vintage Gucci loafers.Will Tata ever return to the comforts of the Manor? Will Selby find her Prince Charming? Will the Pennybacker-Hoares prevail? With the help of a pig farmer-ess moonlighting as a Personal Assistant, a male model moonlighting as a stable hand and a London barrister moonlighting as a gentleman farmer, can Ian restore harmony to The Bottoms?

    • Cotswold Shenanigans
Review Image by Linda Parvin Hutchinson Linda Parvin Hutchinson
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 🇬🇧 Wives Like Us Author: Plum Sykes Source: Bookstore Purchase Date Published: May 14, 2024 Wives Like Us starts with a STUNNING book cover which is sure to enhance your library. Having personally spent a hellishly hot 2023 summer in England and the Cotswolds, I can tell you that this book is a slice of joy. Who doesn’t want to read about rich spoiled b*tches, castles, designer clothing envy, butler poaching, handsome horsemen, and the beautiful British countryside with a large slice of comedy? This book lived up to the reviews and was perfect summer reading with light banter and a class of women that, while I can’t relate to, I can enjoy reading about. This is TONS (get the joke) of fun, and I loved it. #WivesLikeUs #disenchantedWives #jealousy #rich #monies #style #competition #beautifulBookCover #lightRead #Britain #Cotswalds #parties #horses #money @sykesplum @harpercollinsuk #StatusDogs #EnglishCountryHouse #countryLiving #BritishLifestyle #fiction @harpercollins 🇬🇧 ... show more

    • A quick easy read
The book is what it is. Rich people behaving like rich people with romance children horses houses and parties. Slightly boring. Very predictable. But a light read.

    • Fun book
Read this in my book club- it’s a tame cute depiction of romanticized modern country lifestyle. We really enjoyed it . I hope they make it into a movie.

    • fun, easy
Fun, modern downton without deep storylines. Won’t lose sleep, but entertaining enough to press on. Overall enjoyed. Easy read after something serious.

    • Loved this witty escape into the world of the fashionable Cotswolds Wives
Plum Skyes is one of my favorite authors and so was thrilled when she wrote her new book Wives Like US. Reader, pour yourself a glass of bubbly and settle down into your favorite chair to join the party at one of the grand Cotswolds houses. Her marvelous new book lets the reader escape into the fashionable world of the British elite. Rich wives who try to look effortlessly chic while obsessing over tablescapes and what to wear to a "no dress code” dinner party. Skyes, hits the mark on the awkwardness of manners in such a funny way. Of course, nothing is ever perfect in paradise and beneath the designer clothes (side note: if you care about fashion then you will enjoy these details) you get to know and love the interesting characters that give this book depth and heart. ... show more

    • How is a dishy read so boring?
I’m more than halfway through, can already predict the ending, and can’t keep the dull characters straight. I like a dishy read as much as the next girl, but I’m now fast forwarding through this and looking forward to being done so I can move on to a good book. Not at all the fun read I expected.

    • Kinda cute
But also kinda boring. Lots of inside jokes, branding, and style, but not really much meat to the story. I feel like if this was an equivalent story about Manhattan or Brooklyn Heights I would know who everybody is, but in this case I don’t, and I’m not interested enough to figure it out.
