Synopses & Reviews
A major national media event when published in hardcover, this delicious follow-up to Bergdorf Blondes was an immediate
New York Times bestseller and confirmed Plum Sykes' status as a literary superstar.
Sylvie Mortimer has just married and is blissfully happy with The Divine New Husband, Hunter. Sylvie's new friend, Lauren Blount, is very rich, very young, very thin, very pretty and very, very divorced. The most reckless and glamorous of Manhattan's Debutante Divorcée set, Lauren captivates Sylvie, the group's token newlywed. But while Lauren sets out on a morality-lite, orgasm-heavy "Make Out Challenge," Sylvie discovers her marriage isn't exactly an Eternity ad especially when the citys most notorious Husband Huntress zeros in on her spouse.
The Debutante Divorcée delivers all the wit and charm that made Bergdorf Blondes a smash hit. This juicy new tale delighted Sykes' many fans in hardcover and will continue to earn her new ones in this dazzling, chic paperback edition.
Review
"The glamorous backdrop of elite New York...will enchant Sykes's many fans and, indeed, all devotees of novels in which beautiful people change fabulously expensive outfits almost as often as they drop the names of famous designers, celebrities, and restaurants. Yet the book does have broader appeal, as this extreme lifestyle is simultaneously embraced and skewered with a delicious, almost Wodehousian flair." Library Journal
Review
"The semi-existent plot and ditzy characters serve as background for a lesson in what to wear if you have money to burn." Kirkus Reviews
