As promised at the end of last week's Thursday Three, this week we're turning our attention to books where country girls fed up with the quiet, simple life up sticks and move to the hustle and bustle of the city.
First up is 'The Marrying Game' by Kate Saunders. In this, Rufa and Nancy Hasty moves from the crumbing stately home they have grown up in to London in the hope of finding a man. The only criteria for their search is that he must be rich enough to be able to save the the family home.
Carry on across the cut to see which other books made it...
Second choice this week is "Beyond The Blonde" by Kathleen Flynn Hui. This charts the story of Georgia, a girl who has grown up in a small town, sweeping the floors in her mother's highly successful hair salon. After completing her own qualifications, Georgia heads for the bright lights of New York and a contract at Salon Jean-Luc one of Manhattan's top spots.
Third and finally comes Belinda Jones' "Divas Las Vegas". Bored with their quiet life in Devon, best friends Jamie and Izzie head for the bright lights of Las Vegas with a mission - to forget the romantic disasters that Britain has produced and to find the men of their dreams. Set against the glamourous lifestyle we all associate with Las Vegas this is a debut gem.
