Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social satire, Candace Bushnell — who with Sex and the City, changed forever how we view New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manolos — now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter day comedy of manners.

Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute. But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship — and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams.

Review:

"Janey's story is satisfyingly dishy and as addictively readable the second time around. Expect high demand for Bushnell's latest." Meredith Parets, Booklist

Synopsis:

Now in paperback from the brilliant author of "Sex and the City"--a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter-day comedy of manners centered on modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox, a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp.
