Caitlin Morland, whose pastimes including drawing caricatures of the rich and famous and reading every column inch of all the gossip magazines she can lay her hands on, has always craved excitement and been well aware that she wasn't going to find it with her boring family.

When she wins an art scholarship to the famous Mulberry Court College, she is delighted to find herself embraced with open arms by Queen Bee, Izzy Thorpe, daughter of a prominent politician and her mates, Bianca Jarvis and Summer Tilney - girls with lifestyles a million light years away from her own.

She is dragged unprotesting into a round of scams, parties and panics and falls madly in love with Summer's brother Ludo...And then there is an invitation to go on holiday with Izzy's family and that is when everything, thanks to Caitlin's over active imagination, starts to go horribly pear shaped.

Following the huge success of "The Secrets of Love", this is the second book which places a Jane Austen novel in the twenty-first century.
