All in Monte Carlo by Anna Shilling

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. All In Monte Carlo Is woman's Literary genre that is inspired by true events and has a gorgeous cover. The story is about Four women who set their revenge. The story is set in Monaco and is written exceedingly well. The four women are Abigail, Polina , Barbara and Lucinda, and they are fabulous, that keep you glued to their story. I did feel like I connected more with Lucinda and Abigail more than the other two women. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the betrayal they faced and loved they set up a book club to help each other. The plot is brilliant and set at a fast pace you can keep up with. There are great twists and turns that I did not see coming. Loved it. Entertaining read start to finish 5 stars. Blurb Four women, four ways to revenge… A Monaco insider reveals what life is like in the world's richest and most secretive enclave, where revenge is best served with a glass of champagne. Wedged between Southern France and the Mediterranean Sea, the miniature principality of Monaco is a place for aspiration, for comic extremes and for outrageous personalities. Where a businesswoman gets her favourite Chanel suit flown in by private jet. Where Hôtel de Paris serves breakfast to a drunken socialite in a prison cell. Where two Gucci-clad women are behind a string of burglaries. Against a backdrop of cocktails on superyachts, looking fabulous and feeling empty, this tongue-in-cheek tale revolves around four relatable women who meet by chance in Monte Carlo. After sharing their tales of betrayal, they set up a book club as a cover while they settle each other’s scores. But revenge, like life, doesn’t always go to plan… The book cover has been designed by one of the UK’s leading illustrators, Patrick Knowles. Knowles is best known for his cover designs for Julian Fellowes and Anthony Horowitz, as well as for Prince William and Kate’s wedding calligraphy. Author bio Anna Shilling is the collective pen name for four women who used to live in Monaco. As friends now living in London, they shared funny, shocking tales about life in the principality. The plot is inspired by their anecdotes and experiences. Author's Website: www.allinmontecarlo.com

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening
