Synopses & Reviews
“Move Over, Bridget Jones!... A wild ride to find Mr. Right by looking in all the wrong places. Put it on your beach-read list.”
---US Weekly
“Lang employs wonderfully bitchy, British-laced phraseology, making her subjects tone all the more supercilious. Katya Livingston is the young woman you love to hate.”
---Houston Chronicle
“Langs book is an ideal Saturday afternoon read: quick, quirky, and fun. Katyas sarcastic, patronizing wit keeps the book moving through her adventures in life and love and involves the reader immediately in her drama.”
---Romantic Times
Bitingly written with wit and style reminiscent of Candace Bushnell, Adèle Langs novel is a cutting, bitchy, hilarious take on the young-single-British-woman genre.
When weasel-eyed tax inspectors question her claims, Katya is forced to keep a financial diary. As well as documenting the cruel and parsimonious ways of her ad agency boss, Katya waxes lyrical about putting up with loser friends, mortal enemies, and thoroughly bad restaurants. She also throws in a candid account of her love life, in case it is tax deductible. A private account of expenses rapidly becomes, through Katyas chronic delusions of grandeur, a matter of public record: first as a tawdry gossip column, then as a salacious book, and finally as a Hollywood B movie.
Review

Review
"There are some real laughs here, and the complete lack of redeeming value is refreshing." Kirkus Reviews
Synopsis
Reminiscent of Candace Bushnell, this debut novel is a cutting, bitchy, hilarious take on the young-single-woman genre. Bitingly written with wit and style, Adele Lang's scathing first novel is "Absolutely Fabulous" meets "Bridget Jones."

After weasel-eyed tax inspectors question her work-related claims, Katya Livingston is forced to keep a financial diary. As well as documenting the cruel and parsimonious ways of her ad agency boss, Katya waxes lyrical about putting up with loser friends, mortal enemies, and thoroughly bad restaurants. She also throws in a completely candid account of her love life, just in case some of it is tax deductible. What begins as a private account of expenses rapidly becomes, through Katya's chronic delusions of grandeur, a matter of public record: first as a tawdry gossip column, then as a salacious book, and finally as a Hollywood B-movie.
