About this title

Review:

‘Holly Peterson writes about the rich with acute understanding and a drop-dead eye for detail. The funniest, sexiest ride in the limo lane since Bonfire of the Vanities.’ Tina Brown

‘Money, Manners, Mannys: Holly Petersen's debut is a fabulously sharp skewering of the silly-rich in New York. Coudn't put it down. We should ALL get a Manny.’ Plum Sykes
