The Gatecrasher, by Madeleine Wickham
I'm not as much of a chick-lit devotee as I used to be, but I still enjoy a hot pink book every once in a while. The Gatecrasher was written by Madeleine Wickham, a.k.a. Sophie Kinsella of Shopaholic fame. This book is exactly what I expected it to be: a fizzy, pink mental cocktail. There's really not a lot to say about it. But I will say this: the titular character, Fleur Daxeny (awesome name, by the way), crashes funerals in order to prey on grieving millionaires. Revolting behavior, and yet she still manages to be more sympathetic (though not by much) than poor bereaved Leo from the last book I read.
