Maneater

Maneater

by Gigi Levangie (Author)

Synopsis

Clarissa is an archetypal LA babe. She is 28 (real age 31), has never done a day's work in her life and is outspoken, hedonistic and exceedingly manipulative. And she wants to keep it that way. Her life is a constant round of lunches with her hilariously bitchy girlfriends (known as the Star Chamber), parties, and yet more parties. The only thing missing from her life is a rich husband to keep her in the manner to which she has become accustomed. So, without further ado, she sets about planning an extravagant wedding (just two hundred of her closest friends) and reserving the finest hotel suites in town for her reception before she's so much as spoken to her intended. But she soon finds out that Aaron, the son of a billionaire, is more than a match for her and that, for the first time in her life, Clarissa has bitten off more than she can chew.

Media Reviews
'This book has changed my life - I now understand the importance of only drinking red drinks' -- Helen Fielding
Stylish writing, great fun! -- Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City
'I could not put down Maneater by Gigi Levangie. It was so true to how Hollywood really is' * Paris Hilton, In Style *
'Maneater is the rare satire that manages to be both scathingly funny and affectionate toward its targets. Gigi Levangie's gloriously ditzy L.A. party girls make the women of Sex and the City seem like a bunch of stuffy New York intellectuals' -- Tom Perrotta, author of Election
'This is an entertaining and lively book - but women aren't really like that, right?' -- Steve Martin
