The story revolves around Paige who just like many other 22 year old's wants to get away from the town she used to call home and move to the big city that is London. Having just finished university, Paige thinks it is the perfect idea to start the rest of her life, and she can't be more excited and nervous at the same time.
Though London is completely different from her native home that is Canada, then again, with her new friend, Lucinda to talk to maybe life will be good living in a new city. Things seem to be going well for Paige in London, until she falls for a stranger, literally falls on them after she had a bit too much to drink one night.
Her life changes though she isn't sure if it is a good thing or not, though when her picture gets puts on the front cover of newspapers, accusing her of having a affair, with a married man who also happens to be famous. Paige is thrown into a life she never wanted, when she moved to London she had no idea her life would turn out this way, now she has to put right her mistakes and get back on the right track.
Paige is a true romantic girl that you would see in other chick-lit books or movies, with her kind nature and her smart wit she is everything you could want in a main character. This book displayed what happens when rumours get out of hand which many people can relate to. It also shows the journey a young woman takes to find herself by moving to a new country and trying to make a life for herself with a few bumps along the way.
The Accidental Socialite is a great new addition to the chick-lit genre, with the drama, funny moments, rumours and friendships it has everything you could want in a chick-lit novel. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves books by Adele Parks or Victoria Fox.
If I had to sum this book up in three words, they would be Marvellous, Witty and Wonderful.
