Read Retail Therapy Storyline:
With Party Girls, Roz Bailey took on sex and the city. In Girls' Night Out, she turned dating into the funniest reality TV experience ever. Now, she's back with a pack of friends whose extravagance knows no credit limit. Because when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. . .When Roz Bailey was five she danced on the cocktail table at the summer cottage while the adults weren't looking and quickly learned that a very ordinary moment could be parlayed into extraordinary fiction. After winning two poetry awards, in suburban Maryland (with thanks to the nuns at St. Philip Neri), all roads led to bull. . .er, fiction. Roz still enjoys dancing, cocktails, and summer places. She lives in New York City with two roommates who also enjoy living beyond their means.From BooklistIf readers thought Becky Bloomwood of Shopaholic fame was bad, wait until they meet Alana Marshall-Hughs. The daughter of a prominent African American judge, she has shopping on the brain all the time. Since she dropped out of Harvard and quit her job at a prestigious law firm, Alana has been spending like mad. It's all about to come to a halt when Alana's father discovers that she has jetted off to Europe with a hot new fashion designer. With her best friend and roommate, Hailey, in tow, Alana hits the swanky streets of New York for one last spree. Hailey isn't feeling nearly as flush; she is a soap-opera actress playing the daughter of the soap's number-one diva in All Our Tomorrows. She's trying to keep out of the dreadful diva's way and get her contract renewed when she catches the eye of the soap's hottest stud. The author of Party Girls (2002) and Girls' Night Out (2003) again delivers a lighthearted, entertaining comedy. Kristine HuntleyCopyright © American Library Association.
