Out Of Her Depth: A Thrilling Richard & Judy Book Club Pick

Product Information

These are teenagers whose lives are just about to take off. However, a course of events starts to form, and one of the end results is that Sebastian has been given a 20-year prison sentence. For the course of the book, the question remains as to who the murder victim was and what really transpired. As the book alternated between the present and the past, readers are given privy to the byplay between Rachel, Diana and Sebastian. There is a fourth player, however, and her name is Valentina. Readers will start to see how she plays into everything that happened during that hot Tuscan summer.

Financial Times energy editor David Sheppard wrote: "That’s quite the basic error, and frankly dangerous to let people think that." I’d like to thank NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for approving me for an ARC of this book. Also special thanks to Novel Natters for buddy reading this with me.

For example

She must now publicly correct her mistake to make sure people are not misled about their energy prices and hit with unexpected and unaffordable energy bills this winter.” In her fourth interview with BBC Radio Lancashire, Truss was quizzed on her sweeping tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich. When our Prime Minister can’t get basic facts about energy price caps right, we’re in serious trouble. Incomprehensible that she won’t recognise the mess she’s caused and recall Parliament." She is such a contradiction and not an interesting one. On the one hand, she wants to be part of the upper class; of the elite. She is self-conscious and insecure to always make a good impression. Yet, her comments on the elite/upper class are stand-offish, snide and even vindictive. The format itself doesn’t work that well, because during each jump nothing is revealed. It nothing more that a chronological telling of the protagonist’s summer spent in Italy.

I'll just add my 2p, I don't really care what sex or colour Naomi Schifff is. She makes some reasoned points, some of which are probably piped into her ear just like the other presenters. I much prefer listening to her than listening to some of the other presenters gut wrenching cringe jokes/interview questions and frequent mistakes. I have never heard of Lizzy Barber before but if this is a preview of what is to come, I know I will be a big fan. I might even say this was one of my most favored books for the month of July.In an environment totally different to her own, with different rules and different expectations (at a time when you’re most impressionable) is a world that Rachel finds herself in for the summer. She works hard in Villa Medici but her earnings are soon gone as she tries to keep up with the group. She’s dazzled by the glitter and glamour, not really understanding just how shallow that world is.
