About This Book
The New York Times bestseller! "The original Sex and the City gal is back with another juicy glimpse into love and life in New York City." —Cosmopolitan
With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social satire, Candace Bushnell, who with Sex and the City changed forever how we view New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manolos, now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter-day comedy of manners.
Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,zero cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute. But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship—and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams.
"The Sex and the City author's heroine kisses and tells all!" —Us Weekly
"In her latest novel, Trading Up, Candace Bushnell ably demonstrates that her eye for the foibles and mating habits of the well-heeled is as sharp as ever." —O, The Oprah Magazine
"Bushnell proves she's still the philosopher-queen of a social scene propelled not by vanity or conscience, but by sheer perversity." —The New York Times Book Review
