Fresh and fun, The Goddess Rules is an outrageous, wry, and razor-sharp portrait of a girl who thinks her life is just fine until she meets a woman who swears by the belief that life is meant to be fabulous.
When obsessed pet owners have pooches or kitties they want immortalized on canvas, Kate Disney is the artist of choice. From her shed (which doubles as a studio and apartment) in Londons Primrose Hill, Kate caters to the whims of the rich and famous while living a decidedly bohemian existence. The problem is, she has a tendency to cater to her on-again, way-off-again boyfriend as well. Jake is so erratic, that most of her friends don't understand why she even bothers. But it's hard to fall out of love with a man who writes her songs and calls her "Angel" even if he disappears for weeks at a time.
Luckily for Kate, Mirabelle Moncur isn't buying any of that claptrap. Mirri was an actress, a legend in her time. Now, at age sixty, she's given up on fame and men and lives in Africa, where she raises lion cubs. But her reclusive nature has done nothing to dull her beauty, mar her incredible figure, or dampen her outrageous joie de vivre.
After sweeping into London to have Kate paint a portrait of her favorite cub, Mirri seizes hold of Kate's life from the baggy wardrobe to the hopeless taste in men. Under Mirri's tutelage, Kate learns to dance on tables with abandon, drink like a dockworker, and flirt like a goddess. And when her old friend Louis reenters the picture, she begins to see things in a whole new light. But Mirri has secrets that hint at a less than divine future. Now it's Kates turn to teach Mirri a thing or two about life, love, and being fabulous.

I thought this was a hilariously funny book. Haven't we all chosen the wrong man. Like the REALLY wrong man. And the sad things is, you know you are doing it at the time too. Anyway, if you have ever made a decision out of sheer panic, you can relate to the main character. Super-esay read, I finished it in about 4 hours.

Very good girl-talk kind of book-- about men, relationships, and understanding when things go wrong. If you are looking for an interesting book on attempts at relationships, this one is fun.

From a blog post I wrote in 2005:
If you're not into Chick Lit, read no further as Clare Naylor's latest book is just that. British Chick Lit to boot.
The protagonist is a youngish painter of animal portraits in London called Kate Disney. Kate's trying to get over a bad boy boyfriend whom all of her friends loathe but to whom she's completely addicted. Into Kate's life appears French actress Mirabelle Moncur, a sex symbol from the 60s who's still got it and wants to show Kate that Kate's got it, too. The two form an unlikely friendship, our heroine makes a bunch of stupid choices (common for the genre) but everyone does live happily ever after.
This was a perfect book to read on a lazy holiday afternoon.

This book started a little slow, but half way thru it picked up and I really enjoyed it.

That's right: I read a "Cosmopolitan's Best Beach Read." And I'm not sorry. I have discovered the antidote to Stephen King. And it is a light, fluffy as a pink bunny, English novel. It was like a rated-PG Sex in the City.

A quick, amusing read, with some good supporting characters. The protagonist is frustrating, though. You sometimes want to yell at her not to be an idiot! Her relationship with the older woman on the scene, however, is great fun.

It was okay. The girl was way too dumb. There was a point in the story when I actually said "oh-no" out loud cause she was just too dumb.
