Product Description
"Married girls in New York these days put almost as much effort into losing husbands as they once did into finding them." In 2004, Plum Sykes jet-setted to bestsellerdom with Bergdorf Blondes, a playful debut novel that introduced readers to the glamorous world of PAPs (Park Avenue Princesses). Now the fabulous girls from the world of Bergdorf Blondes are back. Lauren Blounts life is beautifully arranged: shes very rich, very young, very thin, very pretty -- and very, very divorced. She is the most reckless and glamorous of Manhattans Debutante Divorcee set. Lauren captivates Sylvia Mortimer, the groups token newlywed. But while Lauren sets out on a morality-lite, orgasm-heavy "Make Out Challenge," Sylvia discovers her marriage isnt exactly an Eternity ad -- especially when the citys most notorious Husband Huntress zeros in on her spouse. Navigating a world of Divorce Showers and Power Christenings, Socialite Babies, Professional Friends, Gorgeous West Village Wives, and Un-Googleable Men, Sylvia fears her husband is straying and starts asking, as Lauren says, "Who needs a husband anyway?" With her delightful mix of charm, cheek, and satire, Sykes has written a second novel that promises to be every bit as beloved as her smash debut.

 Perfect holiday vacation book November 17, 2008
Personally, I adored this book. It was light, funny, and had a great happily ever after ending. The descriptions were vivid and while it had the same guilty pleasure feeling as the first book, it was a bit more readable. Mostly because the narrator was a bit more settled and not swooning over some emotionally abusive fiance for half the book. I'm giving the book four stars for the fact that it was just what it was intended to be. A light, charming book where everyone (that the reader cares about anyway) lives happily ever after in the end and the reader doesn't have to think too much on the way there.
 Tries to be funny in a Paris Hilton way but falls short October 6, 2008
This book has unlikable characters and tries hard to be funny through outrageous characters and plot developments but falls short. This book is not funny or provacative. And, its certainly not enlightening in any way. Not sure what the author was trying to accomplish with this one, but this book is a snooze fest.
 Listen to the audio book September 26, 2008
I find if I listen to an author I really like that I'm disappointed in the audio, but the way this book was read on the audio had me laughing out loud and often. It was hilarious. Definitely not "deep" but I was entertained for sure. Thrilled that I got my 12 bucks worth for the download. Now, I'm not sure if I would have liked it on paper as I picked up the other one of her books at the library today and decided I'd get the other one on audio, too.
This novel is lots of fun! September 13, 2008
Set in new york, with lots of fashion and gossip, how it could it not be?
St. Plum August 26, 2008
Plum Sykes deserves a standing ovation: her ridiculous second novel proves once and for all that you can have the talent of a fruit and not only get published (as she did) but HBO can buy the rights to your book and turn it into a series (as I read it was happening). So why should she care if her novel has all the plot of the phone book and the character depth of a kiddie pool? She's still rich! Plum Sykes should be canonized as the patron saint of all talentless, but well-connected, writers.
