My dear friend, Tatiana Boncompagni, has written another beautifully woven tale about love and money (mutually inclusive in this world) amongst the glittering set of New York society. I was with her when she finished writing the last few pages of the novel (on a flight from NYC to LA) and have been anxiously awaiting its launch for months! I finally got a chance to read it this morning (in one sitting, I could not put it down! My sweet hubby took our son to golf so I could indulge in peace) and now have an urge to crawl back into bed with a plate of expensive cheese and a bottle of bubbly to start over again! I have said this before and I’ll say it again– Tatiana is one of the best writers of our generation. She offers us a peek inside the posh world of New York Hedge Fund Wives (apparently there are 7 types– the Accidental, the Westminister, the Stephanie Seymour, the Former Secretary, the Socialite, the Workaholic, and the Breeder) through her keen eyes and paints a not so bright picture of the seemingly ‘perfect’ socialites often seen on the glossy pages of magazines. The book made me laugh (and cry) and I loved trying to decipher which real life socialites inspired the richly painted characters (trust me, some of the stuff really came out of restylane injected lips because I have heard them firsthand!). The long weekend is the perfect time to treat yourself to this delightful book by the pool, beach or even in bed with a glass of wine. Happy Memorial Weekend everyone!
I opened the book and got the best surprise ever; Tatiana had included me in her acknowledgment page. I felt warm and fuzzy all over 🙂 I am confident it will be a best selling book this summer!
