But amidst the peerages and polo of the privileged few lie wolves in minks’ clothing.
Before she knows it, Amy’s perfect existence is plunged into chaos by the poshest of plots. Ominous heiresses, simpering starlets and a terrifying mother-in-law abound as Amy faces up to some harsh realities.
Can Amy survive life in the upper crust? Or is high society an all new low?
Review:
This is a sweet, clever, heartwarming novel.
It is a beguiling story about high society, family, happiness, fulfillment, and true love.
It is full of colourful characters, including not only the warm, down-to-earth Amy, and the arrogant, pompous Harry, but a whole slew of supporting characters that are charming, quirky, and lovable.
It is very well written. The prose is funny, clear and descriptive. And the plot is intelligent, engaging, witty, and delightful.
This really is a great read that entertained me from start to finish. It was a real pleasure and I highly recommend it.
This book is due to be published on July 26, 2016.

About Elli Lewis
Elli grew up in North London, the second of three sisters and, consequently, in a home that was bursting at the seams with shoes. As a teenager in the 90s, she experimented with Sun In, wore a standard uniform of combat trousers and vest top and shed tears over the breakup of Take That.
She soon recovered and went on to study law at university and qualify as a solicitor. In the course of her career, Elli has worked for some of the UK’s most prestigious law firms, representing a host of A-list clients. Her time in the City gave her a unique insight into the depths of high society, the height of fame and the biggest of fortunes. It was a world where multi-million pound mansions housed pampered pooches and ruthless spouses determined to wreak revenge, experiences that would later inspire her literary career.
In 2008, she went on to found a successful copywriting agency, with clients including national newspapers and media brands, including the BBC.
The books came later. If you ask Elli why she started writing novels, she will glaze over and look thoughtfully into the middle distance. This is not because she doesn’t like you – well, probably – but because Elli has literally no clue how it happened. Suffice to say that, one day she started typing and then never stopped. In fact, Elli wrote Trophy Life, The Lottery Club and The Anti-Natals in the same year and published the first of them in 2016.
Elli can now be found back in North London in the house she shares with one tired husband, two boisterous boys and a colossal Siberian cat. She relies on coffee and chocolate to keep her awake and has a mild addiction to pitta chips.
