Praise for Marrying Up
“Holden, a former writer for the Mail on Sunday, certainly knows her way around snarky royal gossip and delivers here a very guilty pleasure.”
―Kirkus Reviews
“Anglophiles who stayed up all night to watch William and Kate walk down the aisle will have a lot of fun here, as will readers of Sophie Kinsella’s frothy Shopaholic series.”
―Booklist
“Readers will rush through this dishy chick lit tale to find the answer. A Cinderella story for the beach bag.”
―Publishers Weekly
“Gold-digging tale while providing a brimming bucket of laughs along the way.”
― Shelf Awareness for Readers
“Entertaining with a witty and dry sense of humor”
―RT Book Reviews
As women around the world watched Will and Kate walk down the aisle, many of them were plotting how they could find their own prince charming.
Razor-sharp in its wit and as fresh as newlywed royals, Marrying Up (ISBN 9781402270673, Sourcebooks Landmark, Fiction, Trade Paperback, $14.99 U.S., Aug 2012) by Wendy Holden reveals how sometimes a rags-to-riches story can rip a girl to shreds—and how sometimes the crown on your head can nearly crush you.
Only a title, a mansion, and a family tiara will do for a scheming social climber like Alexa, and she will go to great lengths to get it. Starting by befriending clueless aristocrat Florrie, who fills her life with parties, texting, and, above all, champagne, means that the grandest doors swing open and the prince of her dreams is within reach. But has Florrie’s mother, the formidable Lady Annabel, figured out Alexa’s intentions already?
Meanwhile, beautiful but penniless archaeology student Polly has found herself in love after a chance meeting with a dark-eyed stranger named Max. However, Max is hiding a big secret, a secret that could ultimately ruin any chance of him and Polly living happily ever after.

Brad and Angelina
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. They’ve been together almost 30 years and by all appearances still going strong.
Lately it’s been Tom and his wife (I can never remember her name) with the divorce hitting all the papers. Brad and Angelina are another hot one.
My vote is for old Hollywood elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
