Book Description:
Plum Syke'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 fiancee. 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).

This novel has the same feel as the Shopaholic series - rich girls who have too much time and money on their hands. The adventures are fun, but after a while, you could almost write the next chapter. This is a great book to read at the beach or when you don't want think too much.

In the recent tradition of Sex and the City-style fiction this looks at the lives of two well-to-do girls trying to figure out their lives. It is a fun, quick read!

Quick easy read that does not require a great deal of thinking. A good book to read at the beach this summer.

A frothy and delicious read. It isn't difficult or very intellectually tough, but it satisfies like a macaroon. A very quick read.

I was very excited to read this book, as I heard it to be a new and edgy addition to the chick lit genre. The story was cute, the girls were lovable (and attrocious and caddy at times- loves it!), and the men were not nearly as described or defined enough to truly get a sense of their characters. I was a little disppointed that the story didn't have a more finite kicker or a stonger punch. But, I would still pass along to a friend.

There's quite a bit of designer name dropping in this book but it's a light, quick read.
