This review was first published at M's Bookshelf as part of a Gosling Girls Book Tour! http://mssbookshelf.blogspot.beThe first thing that stood out, of course, was the cover. The pink, the nails, the mugshot -concept,... love it! It's flirty, it's girly, it's fun... just like the book! I liked the make-over idea and inside glimpse into the life of the rich, famous... and scandalous.The story turned out completely different than I expected. I liked the unexpected turn of events. The only 'negative' comment I can make, is that I felt all of it was a bit... rushed.I think I would have liked the book even more if it had been a bit longer. It would give you more time to really understand the characters. Lucy, for example is a very "green teen", but that side of her hardly comes across from the moment "LuHan" is born, and the internal struggle between her LuHan -image and her true self would have been interesting to read, I think.I enjoyed her "under cover" moments. They were scandalous, exciting and awkward ('cause let's face it: although she's a lovely girl, she was almost more convincing as 'Paris' than you was as 'Veronica Mars') at the same time.. very entertaining! IF the book had been a bit longer, I would have enjoyed more of these inside-scenes.Heiress, P.I. is a very entertaining read with a lovely 'Miss Congeniality' -vibe.
