Can’t Buy Me Love: A wild coming of age journey through the swinging sixties. (The Cost of Loving Series Book 1 by Martin Humphries

Sometimes, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do….

It’s the sixties, and London might be swinging, but not for our girl Edith. Raised in a miserable home full of anger and hate, life for poor Edith seems to hold little hope. But she finds plenty when she teams up with her older gay cousin, Ronnie, who makes her his mission with a plan to transform her – just like Cinderella – into the fabulous young woman he knows she deserves to be.

Once free of her abusive father and her weak, defenseless mother, the changes are swift and dramatic as, suddenly, life is an exciting adventure, full of twists and turns. Edith’s coming of age becomes a roller-coaster ride of glorious highs and frightening lows, until her father comes back to haunt her. But will a dazzling – yet thoroughly unconventional – Prince Charming step up to claim her? And, if so, where will it take her and how will it end? Who will win and who will lose?
