About this title

From the Publisher:

"Finding a suitable date in the city is like trying to find a fifteen-million-dollar movie actor who isn't into Scientology."

The heroine of the comic strip Emily Briggs draws for Vogue has sex and the city at her well-manicured fingertips. If only Emily could say the same. Her overbearing socialite mom scrutinizes Emily's life as closely as she does her Botoxed face. Her best friend has traded in Mojitos for a dull life with two kids. Her cousin Anne -- the one who turned husband-hunting into a Discovery Channel special on predators -- has finally bagged a fiancé. And her best friend Dash, her last dating safety net, is now attached to a leggy blonde who has the strange fortune of being smart, as well.

"It's humiliating that my parents have a more active social life than I do."

Enter bad-boy artist Henry Phillips. He of the dark hair, blue eyes, and must-have-sex-now grin. Suddenly, Emily's life is getting to be more like her art -- crazed, unpredictable, filled with hilarious twists, heartbreaking turns, and fashion-forward characters who think of Bergdorf's as their own backyard. Now, with her heart on the line and her life changing faster than a diva hosting an awards ceremony, Emily's in for a wild ride that could take her through love, over-the-top weddings, and low-fat ice cream . . . all the way to growing up.
