Yvonne Lee has come up with her second book, Vanity Drive. It’s a short book – 181 pages which you can breeze through quickly in between bouts of chortle. If I were to provide an alternative title, it would be The Confessions of a Vain Woman. Yvonne doesn’t make apologies for being vain though. She writes, “No doubt, I’m a vain woman. I love preening over my face, hair and body.” She’s one brave woman.

After reading through the chapter I Shop, Therefore I Am, I began to see a similarity between Yvonne and Sophie Kinsella’s protagonist, Becky Bloomwood. Whilst Becky is the Shopaholic Extraordinaire, Yvonne is the Shopaholic on Rehab.

If your vanity quotient is high, you’ll find kinship with Yvonne. But even if you’re only a little vain, you’ll be able to identify with the issues she grapples with. Men who want to have a better understanding of what women go through to look beautiful will find enlightenment in Vanity Drive.

Yvonne Lee will be making an appearance in MPH Mid Valley this Sunday 23 November at 4.00-5.00 pm. If you want to catch her, make sure you be there. This is the only book signing event she has lined up.
