Publisher Description
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.

"I absolutely LOVED this book! I found myself involved with the characters, so much so that I wished they were real people so I could either a.) give them a big hug (Hope, Oscar, Charlie) or b.) give them a big punch in the face (Lel, Polly, Henny, Will)! The best part of the book for me, though, was the way everything wrapped up to my satisfaction -- totally! The good guys and the bad guys got what they deserved, and some of the 'bad' guys didn't turn out to be so bad after all, once they had their 'Aha!' moments and decided to change their ways. I highly highly highly recommend this book. I haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time!"

Wolves in Chic Clothing Listener Reviews
-
" Upper class NY,NY chick-gossip lit. Characters are too vapid and plot is too predictable to be enjoyable "
— Spazfungus, 2/9/2014 -
" 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, 1/30/2014 -
" 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, 1/25/2014 -
" Total escapist "reading". A light story read by a good reader. A rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches tale. "
— Ana, 1/21/2014 -
" 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, 1/21/2014 -
" If you liked Devil Wears Prada, you'll love this. It's a good bath tub, beach, rainy day read & the best of Jill Kargman's books!! "
— Faye, 1/19/2014 -
" 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, 1/17/2014 -
" If this book was meant to be a spoof on NYC chick lit, it was awesome. If not, it was bad. And it took two people to write this???? "
— Anita, 1/14/2014 -
" Total chic lit - rich girls in Manhattan and an outsider who tries to make it in - entertaining in a sort of "thank god I don't live there" kind of way "
— Barbara, 12/29/2013 -
" a good beach read...reminded me of the movie "Mean Girls" but the women were older! "
— Cyndi, 12/27/2013 -
" What I would describe as fairly typical chic lit - light and easy. Peaks into the upper crust of the New York social scene. "
— Laurie, 12/12/2013 -
" It was alright - the authors changed perspective without any warning from one paragraph to the next which was interesting. But it was normal, predictable chick-lit. Some of the characters you hated, as you were supposed to, and there were also some redeeming characters, but like I said, predictable. "
— Katie, 12/10/2013 -
" Flat characters, unappealing plot. Skip it. "
— Alissa, 12/4/2013 -
" Really great. just comes to show good things happen for good people. would make a great movie! "
— Anna, 11/25/2013 -
" Funny in parts, but pretty dumb. "
— Adele, 8/29/2013 -
" Kind of a hoaky book, but good for a quick read. "
— Deena, 7/27/2013 -
" A good fluff summer read. "
— Mary, 3/8/2013 -
" Probably some of the best chic-lit I have read. Though I don't know if that is saying much. "
— Stinkydiver, 12/22/2012 -
" Quick guilty pleasure read without substance. Good for the beach, or a plane ride. "
— Cherylck, 11/7/2012 -
" Good "chic lit" about NYC. "
— Marisa, 10/25/2012 -
" Another just to pass the time book someone suggested. It was OK, not great. "
— Patrice, 9/4/2012 -
" Quick read - fun and a bit too predictable. For better takes on chick-lit, try Jane Green and Sophie Kinsella. "
— Eden, 4/8/2012 -
" 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, 8/7/2011 -
" Bad chick lit. "
— Beth, 10/30/2010 -
" Drama, drama , drama and a New York City socialite setting. "
— Ashley, 9/25/2010 -
" 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 -

" Cute read and fast too. It's not earth shattering in any way, but I enjoyed it and had a few giggles. "
— Cmls-girl, 1/2/2009 -
" Quick read - fun and a bit too predictable. For better takes on chick-lit, try Jane Green and Sophie Kinsella. "
