Contemporary Chick Lit
Plum Sykes’s beguiling debut welcomes readers to the
glamorous world of Park Avenue Princesses, the girls who
careen through Manhattan in search of the perfect Fake Bake
(tan acquired from Portofino Tanning Salon), a ride on a PJ
(private jet) with the ATM (rich boyfriend), and the
ever-elusive fiancé. With invitations to high-profile baby showers and benefits,
more Marc Jacobs clothes than is decent, and a department
store heiress for a best friend, our heroine known only as
Moi is living at the peak of New York society. But what is
Moi to do when her engagement falls apart? Can she ever find
happiness in a city filled with the distractions of Front
Row Girls, dermatologists, premieres, and eyebrow waxes? Is
it possible to find love in a town where her friends think
that the secret to happiness is getting invited to the Van
Cleef and Arpels über-private sample sale? And how is she
going to deal with the endless phone calls from her mother
in England demanding that she get married to the Earl next door? With enormous wit and an insider’s eye, Sykes captures the
nuances of the rich and spoiled in a heartwarming social
satire, featuring a loveable "champagne bubble of a girl"
who’s just looking for love (and maybe the perfect pair of
Chloé jeans).
