With a number of Sunday Times bestsellers to her name, Chrissie's most recent work, GETTING OVER MR RIGHT, delves into the world of post-breakup misbehavior and was even nominated for the prestigious 2011 Melissa Nathan Award. Originally hailing from Gloucester in the west of England, Chrissie now calls London her home. Despite her success in the world of chick-lit, she humorously admits to being a terrible baker, with her creations often being described as potential features on the notorious website www.cakewrecks.com. Her weaknesses, however, lie in her love of white wine and impractical shoes that she struggles to walk in.
