Lipstick Jungle

To everyone who s anyone in New York, Victory Ford, Wendy Healy and Nico O Neilly are riding high, the beautiful faces of success in the city. Victory is the hottest new designer on the block; Wendy is president of Parador Pictures with a sure-fire hit in production and three gorgeous children; and Nico is the editor of Bonfire magazine, the city s style bible. To the outside world they ve hit their prime. The trouble is, from where Victory, Wendy and Nico are standing, things don t look quite that way. Nico is fitting in guilty extra-marital sex with an underwear model, Victory s last collection bombed and Wendy s twelve-year marriage to her metrosexual househusband is in freefall. Fierce, funny and flawed, Candace Bushnell s new heroines are also irresistible, and as she follows them through the minefield of work, love and life at the top she gives us a hugely entertaining lesson on how to stay ahead and keep laughing in the toughest town on the planet. Welcome to the Lipstick Jungle. .
