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 fianc.
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 ber-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 Chlo jeans).

A very futile and dumb story

I started to read this book to practice my english. The first time I listen about the book was when I saw a fashion influencier saying she is reading this book. I through the sinopse was interesting and the english was easy to understand.

I think the book is a satire of new york's hugh society. But the book is not so funny and not so critical with the behaviors of the caracteres. Actually, the caracteres are so dumb and futile that it's almost impossible to like them.

The book is really disrespectful with Brazil and Latin American, the mean character always say Brazil, Rio or South America to means sex. I hate how this is disrepectful and prejudiced with our people.

The mean character doesn’t have a name that's really weird. She always choose the wring guys and we hate all the guys of the book. I just like Charlie sometimes, but in other I hate him. But Charlie and the mean character are a cute couple.

I dislike this book and just recomendation if you wanna practices your english, because the resding is very easy, but the story is bad.
