Whenever I see a new Jackie Collins novel I have to pick it up and read it. I'm pretty sure that I have read all of her books. I started reading them when I was a teenager and they were considered to be rather racy! I zap through them in a couple of days and the minute I put them down can remember barely anything of them. But they keep me amused and are a total zone out type of thing.
Confessions of a Wild Child, subtitled 'Lucky, The Early Years' tells the story of Lucky Santangelo, who is the main character in a series of seven books that Ms Collins has written. There's not too much of a story to it: Lucky makes out with boys, gets thrown out of boarding schools, makes out with boys, runs off to the South of France, makes out with boys - well, you get the picture.
I do think that Jackie may be a little out of touch with the modern world - teenagers wearing over the knee boots, 'big boobs' are saucy and sexy, gay men are considered a bit daring and are always camp etc, but what can I say, it's Ms Collins and that's the way she is! I think I'm going to have to draw the line at 'The Lucky Santangelo Cook Book' that I saw tho...
