Book Description
"Finding a suitable date
in the city is like trying to find a fifteen-million-dollar movie
actor who isn't into Scientology."
The heroine of the comic strip
Emily Briggs draws for Vogue has sex and the city at her
well-manicured fingertips. If only Emily could say the same. Her
overbearing socialite mom scrutinizes Emily's life as closely as
she does her Botoxed face.
Her best friend has traded in
Mojitos for a dull life with two kids. Her cousin Anne -- the one
who turned husband-hunting into a Discovery Channel special on
predators -- has finally bagged a fiancé. And her best friend
Dash, her last dating safety net, is now attached to a leggy
blonde who has the strange fortune of being smart, as well.
"It's humiliating that my
parents have a more active social life than I do."
Enter bad-boy artist Henry
Phillips. He of the dark hair, blue eyes, and must-have-sex-now
grin. Suddenly, Emily's life is getting to be more like her art --
crazed, unpredictable, filled with hilarious twists, heartbreaking
turns, and fashion-forward characters who think of Bergdorf's as
their own backyard.
Now, with her heart on the line
and her life changing faster than a diva hosting an awards
ceremony, Emily's in for a wild ride that could take her through
love, over-the-top weddings, and low-fat ice cream . . . all the
way to growing up.

Finally a book that made me laugh out loud!!!
Emily Briggs' zany (and self-deprecating) sense of humor is truly
refreshing. I haven't come across a character like hers since
Carrie Bradshaw. So if you liked Candace Bushnell's novels, you'll
LOVE "The Fabulous Emily Briggs."
The New York backdrop also makes for a fun and
entertaining read. I was sad to finish it. Now I can't wait for
the next Emily Briggs chronicle!!
