Description

Book 1 in the Living Blond trilogy

Diamonds are a Teen's Best Friend

Nessa Joanne Mulholland, aka Marilyn Monroe's No. 1 teenage fan, is used to moving house. This time, however, she's relocating in movie-star style—crossing the Atlantic on board the Majestic, headed for Paris from New York City. And it really would be in movie-star style if it wasn't for the fact that she's bringing her cringe-fest professor dad along for the ride (Dad's specialization: human mating rituals—need Nessa say more?). Oh yeah, and sharing a cabin that's five decks below sea level and next to the engine room. Still, at least Holly Isles is on board. Yes, really, that Holly Isles—star of stage and screen. Suddenly, things are looking up. Looking a little Marilyn, in fact, because events are strangely mirroring Nessa's favorite movie of all time, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Watch!

As Holly Isles, world-famous actress, confides in Nessa over mocktails.

Listen!

As Nessa coaches Holly in the amazing "Nessa's Lesson's in Love"—the ultimate man-catching rules to finding true and lasting lurv.

See!

Nessa fall for Holly's too-cute nephew, Marc. . . and

Cover your eyes!

As it all goes terribly, horribly, embarrassingly wrong.

There's no doubting it. This is going to be one pitchy crossing.

i was just thinking as i was reading over your living blonde books for the 14th time as you get hooked on the first page. i was just wondering if maybe you would be writing a fourth edition to the series? i hope so abbey x

My name is Maddie amd I am 11 years old (nearly 12). I was desperate to find a good book that I cried for mum to take me to the library. You can probably tell I like reading, love is more the word. My best friend, Hailee, had read all of your Living Blonde series and suggested to read Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend. I think it was a bad idea bescause I haven’t been able to put it down. I have been yelled at by my teacher and parents to stop reading but I just can’t. I love the fact how Nessa is just totally obessed with Marilyn Monroe. Please email me back. Maddie

i am just reading diamonds are a teens best friend and loving it we had to write about our book choice and i chose that and then i went onto the website and i read about some of the other books from that series and saw that holly is to become her new stepmum without reading it first!!!!!! i think that this book is really well written and i am going to read some of the other ones.
