Business mogul Bethenny Frankel is known for her deadpan,
acerbic one-liners making her one of the most popular
reality stars on television today. Her devoted fans have
watched her evolve from a relatively unknown Real Housewife
to a three-time New York Times bestselling author. Due to
her entrepreneurial spirit, it comes as no surprise that she
has decided to take the plunge and make a foray into the
world of fiction with her first novel aptly titled
SKINNYDIPPING.
Using her own experiences as the basic framework for the
story, she has brought to life her alter ego Faith
Brightstone who embarks on a journey to find herself.
Familiar, right? At first, the similarities to Bethenny's
own life are quite confusing as the reader tries to
distinguish fact from fiction. However, once the story takes
root, the book is nearly impossible to put down.
Incorporating her oftentimes inappropriateness plus her
straight-shooting wit, Bethenny has created a real life
character with whom most women can identify.
As a struggling college grad, Faith moves to L.A. to follow
her dream of becoming an actress. Along the way, she meets
some sleazy Hollywood types looking to take advantage of
this naive young woman. Taking an array of dead-end jobs in
order to pay the bills, Faith is in search of the next best
thing as she struggles to make her way in the world. As luck
would have it, she lands a spot as a contestant on a reality
show hosted by the Domestic Goddess herself Sybil Hunter.
With her future on the line, there is no stopping her now as
she tries to literally claw her way to the top.
SKINNYDIPPING:THE NOVEL is an addictive, guilty pleasure for
all Bethenny fans and wannabes alike in search of the
not-so-perfect happily-ever-after. Through her quirky humor
and hilarious antics, Bethenny's entry into the fiction
market will most certainly land her back on top of the
bestseller's list.
“Who do I have to sleep with to get a drink on this plane?”
Beloved by countless fans for being devilishly dishy,
outrageously funny, and always giving it to us straight,
three-time New York Times bestselling author Bethenny
Frankel now makes her fiction debut with the story of Faith
Brightstone. Faith is an aspiring actress just out of
college, who moves to L.A. determined to have it all—a job
on the most popular TV show, a beach house in Malibu, and a
gorgeous producer boyfriend. But when reality hits, she
finds herself with a gig as a glorified servant, a role that
has more to do with T&A than acting, and a dead-end
relationship. Finally, Faith decides she’s had enough of La
La Land and moves back to New York with just a suitcase and
her dog, Muffin.
Five years later, Faith has finally
found her groove as an entrepreneur and manages to land a
spot on a new reality TV show hosted by her idol—the
legendary businesswoman and domestic goddess Sybil Hunter.
Diving into the bizarre world of reality TV, Faith’s loud
mouth and tell-it-like-it-is style immediately get her in
trouble with her fellow contestants—the delusional
socialite; the boozy lifestyle coach; the moody headband
designer; and her closest friend, the ambitious housewife
who eventually betrays her. Even Sybil is not what she
appears.
As the show comes to a dramatic close, Faith
discovers that the man of her dreams may have just walked
into her life. Will she choose fame or love? Or can she have
it all?
