In The Right Address, Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman seared through the upper crust of New York’s glitterati with wicked glee. In their delicious new novel, Wolves in Chic Clothing, they train their merciless spotlight on the young princes and princesses poised to inherit Park Avenue. Julia, a hip, downtown salesgirl at Pelham’s jewelry store, finds her social life turned on its head when she is asked to deliver a necklace to the store’s young heiress, Lell Pelham, on Lell’s wedding day. Beguiled by Julia’s earnest cluelessness and her vintage-chic vibe, Lell and her gang adopt Julia, and “Eliza Doolittle” her into passing as the heiress to a family fortune, just for a laugh. Dazed by the whirlwind of trust funds, pedigrees, Cosmopolitans, and penthouses in her new world, Julia is unprepared for the ardent advances of Lell’s husband—or the vicious claws her new “friends” develop when they decide Julia is an ingrate, and demote her from society goddess to penniless cling-on with one well-timed editorial. Suddenly, she must return the borrowed couture clothes and try to remember who she was before the body snatching took place. Hilarious and completely addictive, Wolves in Chic Clothing is a modern-day rags-to-riches-and-back-again fairy tale that will leave fans stamping their Manolo Blahniks for more.

"Cute read and fast too. It's not earth shattering in any way, but I enjoyed it and had a few giggles. "
— Cmls-girl (4 out of 5 stars)
“It’s impossible to resist the charms of this modern Manhattan fairy tale.”
— People“Offers playful insight into a world…as catty as it is rarefied.”
— Vogue“[Karasyov and Kargman] have fashioned an amusing ride out of the rituals and scandals, the big fake smiles and big real jewels of the world in which they grew up.”
— W Magazine“The right address for fun.”
— Atlanta Journal-Constitution“Succinct and snappy dialogue carry Melanie’s voyage through the social circles’ customary verbal skewering, dirt-dishing, and mud-throwing…The drama starts as the rich and famous are caught in acts of plagiarism, adultery, theft, and murder.”
— Deseret Morning News“A winning novel…If you love society, scandal, and stories about the rich and the richer, look no further.”
— Bookreporter.com“The perfect light spring read, full of biting barbs lobbed at New York’s elite.”
— Booklist" Kind of a hoaky book, but good for a quick read. "
— Deena, 2/18/2014" Purely fun read- love to imagine the high-faluten life in NYC! "
— Margie, 2/14/2014" This book was very poorly written. The beginning of it was so unrealistic that I nearly stopped. Even for "chick lit," it wasn't good! "
— Mikala, 2/12/2014" This isn't going to set the world on fire as a literary masterpiece- but it's a fun easy read. "
— Christina, 2/11/2014" This book was mediocre and shallow. Unless you "
— Corinne, 1/31/2014" Fun book. I loved how the book went back and forth between perspectives. Although it is a little predictable, I still enjoyed it and couldn't put it down! "
— Mrs.Still, 1/26/2014" What I would describe as fairly typical chic lit - light and easy. Peaks into the upper crust of the New York social scene. "
— Laurie, 1/3/2014" Another just to pass the time book someone suggested. It was OK, not great. "
— Patrice, 12/22/2013" Good "chic lit" about NYC. "
— Marisa, 12/16/2013" Total escapist "reading". A light story read by a good reader. A rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches tale. "
— Ana, 12/6/2013" couldn't put it down quite entertaining as an inbetween read "
— Peter, 11/30/2013" Chick lit wins me over again. Although not incredibly good chick lit. It was well-written in that I hated who I was supposed to hate and liked who I was supposed to like. I don't remember why I rented this, but thankfully, it was short, and not a chunk of my life I'll never get back. "
— Stacey, 11/23/2013" A little too superficial even for my chic-lit tolerance level - sort of low rent Devil Wears Prada "
— Natalie, 11/21/2013" It was a nice quick read... A little predictable, but i still enjoyed it. "
— Jillian, 11/16/2013" Ridiculously stupid. Main Character had no personality. "
— Kathryn, 10/24/2013" If you read the summary on the back cover, you've read the whole book. Small town girl makes good, loses it all, and makes good again. It's a quick read and not a bad way to spend your time while in a doctor's waiting room, but it's not a book that you can't wait to pick up again. "
— Lyz, 9/20/2013" Probably some of the best chic-lit I have read. Though I don't know if that is saying much. "
— Stinkydiver, 10/17/2012" A good fluff summer read. "
— Mary, 5/20/2012" Quick read - fun and a bit too predictable. For better takes on chick-lit, try Jane Green and Sophie Kinsella. "
— Eden, 4/4/2012" Drama, drama , drama and a New York City socialite setting. "
— Ashley, 1/18/2012" 2.5 stars. I normally love chic lit. And this one had some good, funny parts. But overall, it was too disconnected. Not my favorite. "
— Karma, 12/1/2011" One of the worst books ever written. It was sloppy. "
— Maggie, 5/7/2011" One of the first books i read ! I loved it <3 "
— Lubna, 4/27/2011" Fun way to pass the time. "
— Missyk, 2/27/2011" I didn't finish this book, so my rating is skewed. This book was pretty shallow for me, even for a girl who likes shallow once in awhile. It wasn't worth my time. "
— Summer, 12/16/2010" This was mildly entertaining—a once-a-year indulgence into chic lit—a gap-fill between more thought-provocing literature. "
— Chelle, 9/12/2010" Total escapist "reading". A light story read by a good reader. A rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches tale. "
— Ana, 5/3/2010" It was a nice quick read... A little predictable, but i still enjoyed it. "
— Jillian, 4/5/2010" This book was mediocre and shallow. Unless you?re really interested in the New York A list, you probably won?t get a ton out of this read. "
— Corinne, 2/9/2010" This book tried way too hard to be cute/funny/hip. I almost gave it a rating of three because I didn't expect much out of it from the beginning but the authors misused the word "literally" way too frequently. Come on, you're writers! "
— Cheryl, 7/29/2009" Another just to pass the time book someone suggested. It was OK, not great. "
— Patrice, 2/26/2009" This book was very poorly written. The beginning of it was so unrealistic that I nearly stopped. Even for "chick lit," it wasn't good! "
— Mikala, 1/22/2009" Quick read - fun and a bit too predictable. For better takes on chick-lit, try Jane Green and Sophie Kinsella. "
