Bergdorf Blondes

Readers are ushered into the glamorous world of Park Avenue Princesses in Plum Sykes' captivating debut, where the girls dart around Manhattan in pursuit of the ideal Fake Bake—a tan obtained from the Portofino Tanning Salon—a private jet ride with the ATM—their wealthy boyfriend—and the elusive fiance.

Living at the pinnacle of New York society, our heroine Moi has an invitation to high-profile baby showers and benefits, an abundance of Marc Jacobs clothing, and a department store heiress for a best friend. However, what will Moi do if her engagement doesn't work out? Will she ever be happy in a city where dermatologists, premieres, Front Row Girls, and eyebrow waxings are her only sources of distraction? In a community where her friends believe that receiving an invitation to the Van Cleef and Arpels exclusive sample auction is the key to happiness, is it possible to find love? Furthermore, how is she going to handle her mother's constant calls from England urging her to wed the Earl next door?

With a great sense of humor and an insider's perspective, Sykes crafts a touching social satire that highlights the subtleties of the privileged and spoilt, centered on a charming "champagne bubble of a girl" who is just searching for love (and maybe the ideal pair of Chloe jeans).
