About the Author:

CARRIE KARASYOV and JILL KARGMAN are Spence graduates, and the authors of the novel The Right Address. Carrie lives in Santa Monica, California. Jill makes her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

From the Inside Flap:

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 posh Park Avenue 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.

Bitchy, 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.
