HAPPY NEW YEAR GIVEAWAY: START OFF WITH "THE STARTER WIFE"

GIVEAWAY ENDED
THE STARTER WIFE
BY GIGI LEVANGIE GRAZER
ABOUT THE BOOK:
IN HOLLYWOOD, THEY LIKE TO LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM.
THE STARTER WIFE... A scathingly funny novel from the bestselling author of Maneater!
When her husband, Kenny, dumps her by cell phone (!) mere months before their ten-year wedding anniversary, Gracie Pollock is dazed and confused. Though life as the wife of a semi-famous Hollywood studio executive often left her yawning, Gracie always believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples. She never thought she'd be a starter wife.

But Kenny has upgraded, and with images of his new pop tartlet girlfriend everywhere Gracie turns, she seeks refuge at her best friend's Malibu mansion. Then a mysterious hunk saves her from drowning and suddenly drowning in her sorrows seems like a waste of time. And when she takes up with Kenny's boss, one of Hollywood's better-known Lotharios, she discovers that maybe life after divorce -- Hollywood-style -- isn't so bad after all!

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
"Fearless and fabulous. Only an insider like Gigi Grazer could have so much wicked fun with the intricacies of Hollywood's power couples." -- Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada

"In The Starter Wife, with delirious aplomb, nerves of Sub-Zero steel, and a mordant case of the giggles, Gigi Levangie Grazer covers a very expensive waterfront: that gated colony inhabited by the great EWs: Entertainment Weekly, Edith Wharton, and Evelyn Waugh." -- Bruce Wagner, author of The Chrysanthemum Palace

"Acidic and unforgiving, Gigi Levangie Grazer's hilariously accurate skewering of the mores -- and the morons -- of Hollywood left a deliciously vile taste in my mouth, and I loved it!" -- Simon Doonan, columnist for The New York Observer and author of Nasty
