The no. 1 Sunday Times bestselling satire of New York high society from the wickedly funny pen of Plum Sykes, an addictive cocktail of parties, fashion and romance - think Nancy Mitford meets Sex and the City

---

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 fiancé´.

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 très draining to mix parties, peach bellinis and private jets (´PJs´ to those fluent in globetrotting) while maintaining a standout collection of Chloé 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.
