The no. 1 Sunday Times bestselling satire of New York high society from the wickedly funny Plum Sykes 'Perfectly pitched - playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times' Anna Wintour, Vogue 'Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice ... Into the blender go Bridget Jones, Anita Loos, Sex and the City and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction' New York Times 'A masterpiece: never has intelligence been so wickedly dark, on-point and outright funny ... I'm full of awe and admiration' Alain de Botton on Party Girls Die in Pearls Meet moi, 'a champagne bubble of a girl about town working at being a princess by day and by night on the prowl for that elusive, must-have accessory every girl simply demands: an impossibly rich fianc???'. It shouldn't be too tricky. After all, her BFF is Julie Bergdorf, department store heiress, queen of Park Avenue and owner of hair universally acknowledged as the Perfect Shade of Blonde. Life is a whirl of ball gowns and blow-dries (which inevitably take waaay too long, because hairdressers always need to talk through their addictions). But, strictly entre nous, it can actually be tr???s draining to mix parties, peach bellinis and private jets ('PJs' to those fluent in globetrotting) while maintaining a standout collection of Chlo??? jeans and a job. How does she manage it? Plum Sykes lifts the lid on Manhattan's elite in this devilishly witty, deliciously addictive tale of the search for love - and the ultimate Manolos. Plum Sykes' latest novel, Wives Like Us, is out now.
