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 'Perfectly pitched – playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times' Anna Wintour, Vogue 'Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice … Into the blender go Bridget Jones, Anita Loos, Sex and the City and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction' New York Times 'A masterpiece: never has intelligence been so wickedly dark, on-point and outright funny ... I'm full of awe and admiration' Alain de Botton on Party Girls Die in Pearls 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 fianc©'. 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 tr¨s draining to mix parties, peach bellinis and private jets (‘PJs' to those fluent in globetrotting) while maintaining a standout collection of Chlo© 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.
