Synopsis

In May 2004, 26-year-old Jessica Cutler was thrust into the public eye when the online diary she kept for her friends exploded into Washington's scandale du jour. The Washingtonienne, the weblog she kept to allow her friends to keep track of her late-night assignations with six Capitol Hill power brokers, has been transposed into a semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, in which Cutler's part is played by the hardbitten Jacqueline Turner. Kicked out of her New York apartment, Turner takes the couch of a friend in Washington and the adventures quickly follow.

About this title

Review:

..."perhaps the Beltway bunch should be grateful for this lewd, unpretenious valentine to their city."

Synopsis:

An unashamedly juicy novelisation of the weblog that scandalised Washington, D.C.. Jessica Cutler, fired from a clerical position on Capitol Hill after her steamy weblog hit the headlines, has recreated 2004's sauciest scandal in her debut novel. In May 2004, Jessica Cutler's online diary detailing her regular sexual encounters with several high-ranking gentlemen on Capitol Hill exploded into national news reports. Within days, the 26-year-old mail clerk had been fired for "unacceptable use of Senate computers". Taking its title from the name of Cutler's weblog, "The Washingtonienne" is a deliciously gossipy retelling of the events leading up to here firing: and, of course, those notorious assignations on boardroom tables, in hotel rooms and in the houses of some of Washington's most senior - and married - appointees. The names have been changed to protect the guilty, everything else remains the same. "Pretty Woman" meets sex lies and videotape in the hands of a catty "Bridget Jones" for the "Sex and the City" generation!
