Description
'Spiky, clever, funny' – Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters
'Brilliant, propulsive . . . A riot'– Maddie Mortimer, author of Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies
'A delicious gallop through 90s tabloid London' – Sam McAlister, author of Scoops
It’s peak 90s London. Shoulder pads are out, crimped hair is in, supermodels are known by their first names, and Becky Sharp will do anything to escape her past.
From mingling with tabloid millionaires to trading favours and fortunes with royalty, she will stop at nothing to reach the top of the career ladder at the Mercury newspaper. Landing scoop after scoop, Becky ruthlessly carves a place for herself in a society determined to ignore her. These are the biggest stories and scandals of the decade, and she has something to do with every one of them.
But Becky may have more in common with the people she writes about than she thinks – what takes a lifetime to build takes only a moment to destroy . . .

Wow what a book.
We are taken back and forth to her childhood which was grim to say the least.
She becomes a strong woman and will do what she has to to get to the top.
Gradually we are given more details of her younger years and things become clearer.
Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for my copy.
I loved this book and although quite long i ended up reading it far to quickly.
