A modern Manhattan fairy tale with the sparkle of a
champagne cocktail, Tinsley Mortimer’s debut novel provides
a delicious peek into her world of society, fashion, and
big-city fame. SOUTHERN GIRL Minty Davenport has
always dreamed of skyscrapers, yellow cabs, and a life like
Eloise’s in New York City. So upon graduation from college,
she bids adieu to Charleston and makes a beeline for the Big
Apple. Almost instantly, she finds herself at an event being
photographed for Women’s Wear Daily, and her career
as a New York society “It Girl” is launched. As Minty
navigates the ironclad customs of New York society, a
blossoming love life, and a job working for a ruthless and
powerful publicist, she finds that the rules a southern
belle lives by—being nice to everyone, accentuating her
femininity, and minding her manners—don’t necessarily
guarantee success in Manhattan. She may indeed be
accumulating new friends and opportunities along with
boldfaced mentions and a very eligible bachelor boyfriend,
but someone is plotting her very public downfall. When Minty
gets to the top of the social ladder, she must decide if the
glamorous life she thought she wanted is really everything
she hoped it would be.
