The first lesson learned directly from birth for a
debutante is that every occasion is befitting a
celebration. Whether it's a wedding, or perhaps even a
divorce, a debutante maximizes her potential by inviting
the right people with the best connections in hope to
score the coveted write-up on Page 6. Lauren Blount is no
exception. Raised with a silver spoon in her mouth, Lauren
wants for nothing yet desires to have it all. With the
recent demise of her short-lived marriage, Lauren decides
to make the best of her situation and form a new club, The
Debutant Divorcée. As with any club, membership has its
privileges and with this group of girls, that rule
definitely applies!
Sylvie Mortimer keeps pinching herself just to make sure
she is not hallucinating! At a wedding in Anguilla, she
meets the man of her dreams and winds up tying the knot
with one of the most eligible bachelors on the dating
scene. Wealthy, talented and drop-dead gorgeous, Sylvie
could not have done any better if she had dreamed up this
man herself. Then how come she is spending her honeymoon
with a couple of divorcées who are determined to make the
best of what would seem an awful situation? From
clandestine business trips to suspicious hotel receipts,
Sylvie's no longer sure she bagged the ultimate prize.
THE DEBUTANTE DIVORCEE is the second novel for the
prolific contributing editor of Vogue, Plum Sykes. As with
her debut novel, BERGDORF BLONDES, Sykes expertly
describes the cut-throat world of New York City's high
society with her tongue and check references from the
wanna-be social climbers to the ultimate trend setters who
all vie for the top rung. The authenticity of her
characters lies in her star power as she drops names, such
as Lindsay Lohan, convincing her reader that she knows the
inside scoop even on the current IT girl! Laugh out-loud
funny, satirical and heart warming, Sykes manages to do it
all as she serves up yet another dish of caviar.
In 2004, Plum Sykes jet-setted to bestsellerdom with
Bergdorf Blondes, a playful debut novel that introduced
readers to the glamorous world of PAPs (Park Avenue
Princesses). Now the fabulous girls from the world of
Bergdorf Blondes are back.
Lauren Blount's life is beautifully arranged: she's very
rich, very young, very thin, very pretty -- and very, very
divorced. She is the most reckless and glamorous of
Manhattan's Debutante Divorcé set. Lauren captivates Sylvia
Mortimer, the group's token newlywed. But while Lauren sets
out on a morality-lite, orgasm-heavy "Make Out Challenge,"
Sylvia discovers her marriage isn't exactly an Eternity ad
-- especially when the city's most notorious Husband
Huntress zeros in on her spouse.
Navigating a world of Divorce Showers and Power
Christenings, Socialite Babies, Professional Friends,
Gorgeous West Village Wives, and Un-Googleable Men, Sylvia
fears her husband is straying and starts asking, as Lauren
says, "Who needs a husband anyway?" With her delightful mix
of charm, cheek, and satire, Sykes has written a second
novel that promises to be every bit as beloved as her smash
debut.
