Book Review of The Corset Diaries

The Corset Diaries
reviewed on


I think this is Katie MacAlisters funniest book she has written. I would recommend this book highly because it is not only funny it is a great story!

*Back of the book*
"I HAVE TO WEAR WHAT???"
No woman in her right mind would consent to wearing a corset for a month. Especially a "skinny-challenged" woman like myself. But dreams of being debt-free danced in my head when I received the offer to appear on a reality TV show.

A month in the Life of a Victorian Duke is about real people-like me-pretending to live on an English estate, circa 1879. Sounds fun, no? Well, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. We're talking no televisions, no cell phones, no PMS medication. And did I mention the corsets? No breathing for a full month. Luckily, when I met the real - life duke who was to be my pretend husband, he took my breath away....

In a manor in which everyone must strictly follow the Victorian lifestyle, things were bound to go wrong. Like when some harmless lust turned into that other thing...
Love was definitely not in the contract.
