Chick Lit Heroine Grudge Match: Melissa Romney-Jones v Honey Blennerhesket
It’s seems that everyone’s favourite supernatural chick lit heroine is Sookie Stackhouse.
This week we’ve got a bit of a split personality. By day she’s the homely Melissa Romney-Jones, but by night she’s the glamorous Honey Blennerhesket. Which side of Hester Browne’s heroine do you prefer?
Melissa Romney-Jones
The Books: The Little Lady Agency, Little Lady, Big Apple and The Little Lady Finds Her Prince (released next year).
Looks: Comfy clothes, dark hair and Alice bands
Men: Jonathan Riley, big shot Managing Director from New York. Melissa stays with him when he has to go back to NY and she spends a lot of time waiting for him to finish work
Talent: Being at Daddy’s beck and call to sort out her family problems
Honey Blennerhesket
The Books: See above!
Looks: Heels, nipped in waists and glamorous blonde hair
Men: Jonathan Riley, but as Honey she whips him into shape and launches him in London. You wouldn’t find Honey waiting for any man
Talent: Getting awkward upper class men into shape, so they’re fit to be seen in society
Conclusion: It’s comfy and cosy v gorgeous and glam – what do you choose?

Honey is my favorite because I can relate to both of them being born as a brunette and becoming a blond later in life. You DO feel more confident and light- hearted as a blond... like nothing has to be "the end of the world" serious so why not be more daring and "go for it". Also I find that being blond just naturally seems more glamorous...yet at the same time more fun and approachable (think of the California surfer girl image)... so you can still be comfy and cozy too...best of both worlds. I have all the books by Hester Browne and look forward to whatever is next.
