Synopsis A pack of jaded, backstabbing New York City society 20-somethings orchestrate the transformation and downfall of a naïve jewelry salesgirl in this deliciously naughty volume. Extremely stylish and pretty, Julia is a decidedly downtown girl with dreams of starting her own jewelry design business. Though selling engagement rings at venerable, opulent Pelham's jewelry store isn't the path to success, it pays the rent. When Julia delivers a diamond necklace for the wedding of Lell Pelham, daughter of the CEO, she has no idea that she's about to be taken on as a pet project by the bride. As Julia finds herself changing into someone unrecognizable, coping with the ardor of Lell's husband, and experiencing the cruelty of so-called "friends," she discovers the ugly side of high society. By the authors of the runaway best seller THE RIGHT ADDRESS.

Publisher's Note The authors of The Right Address skewer the upper crust young people of Manhattan's Park Avenue in the story of Julie, a hip, downtown salesgirl at Pelham's jewelry store, who finds herself adopted by wealthy Lell Pelham and her friends, who pass her off as an heiress as a joke.
