Jessica Beam knows how to party. Only lately she's been forgetting to turn up for work on time. Or in clean clothes. Out of a job and homeless, Jess seeks the help of her long-lost grandmother. Things aren't going well for Matilda Beam, either. Her 1950s Good Woman guide books are out of print, her mortgage repayments are staggering and her granddaughter wears neon Wonderbras. Then a lifeline from a London publisher arrives—an opportunity to invigorate the Good Woman guides, and transform modern, rebellious Jess into a demure vintage lady. The true test of their make-over will be to capture the heart of notorious playboy Leo Frost and prove that Matilda's guides still work. It's going to take commitment, nerves of steel and one seriously pointy bra.
