Publisher's Summary

The game's on, and the girls are out to win....

In the glossy world of footballers’ WAGs, love is the toughest game of all.

Jean Bennett, aspiring jewellery designer, knows as much about football as she does astrophysics. But when she moves to the bright lights of Sydney and falls in love with star footballer Josh Fox, she has to learn - fast.

Thrown eyelashes-first into the world of WAGs, Jean is way out of her league. She navigates her way through semi-finals, a gruelling social calendar and salacious scandals on Josh’s arm, safe in the knowledge he belongs to her - or so she thinks. But as her hair gets blonder, her heels higher and her tops lower, Jean begins to wonder who she’s become....

Critic Reviews

"This glam and 'fictional' exposé of the lives of WAGS is a rollicking read." (NW

Not really worth it

I love Zoe, this just wasn't for me. Filled with garish stereotypes and cultural faux pas. Also the narrator seemed to be put strange emphasis on the text.

ok story

the story went on too much. very whiney characters , not sure if this is how Aussies really sound! the narrators voice grated on my nerves quite a bit. didn't like the abrupt ending. I think that Foxy would have had to say a bit more before the last question.

Ok for distraction

What an ending??? After a long dragging story that can go into too much detail..the ending doesn't match! it's like the author ran out of word count!

Great for listening to around the house

I listened to this while pottering around the house. It was a fun story and the narrator was pretty good.

lost me

I usually love ZFB but this one lost me. A little juvenile and quite boring at times, not the usual literary sophistication. Okay for a casual listen if you want to listen to something you're not overly invested in.

This is the 3rd Z.Foster-Blake novel that I've binged in a row, none of them are outstanding but all are very binge worthy!

Hooked til the end

I have read this book twice as a paper back and this audio book still had me hooked til the very last minute. The narrators intonation was very engaging and added to Zoë’s witty writing. Loved it!!

Ended Abruptly

I quite enjoyed the book and the narration was fantastic but the ending was really disappointing…
