Jackie Collins for a new generation. The Thunder Girls is a blockbuster novel, filled with obsession, addiction, betrayal and revenge, that charts the rise and fall of an 80s girl band from Melanie Blake, a true insider of the music business.

THE
Chrissie, Roxanne, Carly and Anita, an eighties pop sensation outselling and out-classing their competition. Until it all comes to an abrupt end and three of their careers are over, and so is their friendship.
THUNDER
Thirty years later, their old record label wants the band back together for a huge money-making concert. But the wounds are deep and some need this gig more than others.

GIRLS
Can the past be laid to rest for a price, or is there more to this reunion than any of them could possibly know? Whilst they all hunger for a taste of success a second time around, someone is plotting their downfall in the deadliest way possible . . .
What did I think?
Finding it difficult to concentrate on reading lately, I was looking for a book to grab my attention and help me escape real life for a little while. Well The Thunder Girls did just that and I absolutely loved it. There's so much drama in The Thunder Girls, it's like a glitzy soap opera on steroids.
Set in the music industry, The Thunder Girls is the story of the world's biggest girl band getting back together after a 30 year gap. With a group of girls there'll always be bitchy backstabbing and catfights, even 30 years later when the 'girls' are in their fifties! Even more so when one of the girls left to pursue a solo career and the record label kicked the band into the gutter. They all dreamed of playing at Wembley one day and with the offer of a lifetime to do just that on the table, how can they possibly resist?
I absolutely loved the drama of The Thunder Girls, it reminded me of the the bitchy feuding between Krystle Carrington and Alexis Colby in Dynasty but even worse! These four girls had the world in their hands back in the 80's until one of them wanted the whole world to herself, or at least that's the way the other three saw it. So who can blame them for giving Chrissie the cold shoulder? They start to thaw with the Wembley carrot dangling in front of them and the promise of a cool half a million each for one show. The Spice Girls said 'friendship never ends' but will the girls ever be able to forgive and forget?
Filled with secrets, lies, tension and drama The Thunder Girls is THE book to read this summer; it's pure escapism and hugely entertaining. It's a glitzy and thrilling rollercoaster ride so you'd better buckle up for the ride of your life!
I chose to read an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
