Book Description:
"'In The Right Address', Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman seared through the upper crust of New York’s glitterati with wicked glee. In their delicious new novel, Wolves in Chic Clothing, they train their merciless spotlight on the young princes and princesses poised to inherit Park Avenue.
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 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.
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."

I didn't look inside this one when I got it. I picked it up to read the other day and relized it was Bookcrossing book. Sorry I didn't journal sooner. I always love to get a bc book through paperbackswap. Thanks again!
All and all I thought this was a lot of fun. I could see how Julia could get sucked in but I am glad that in the end she stayed true to herself. Despite this book being so thin, I found that it took me longer to read this than one would expect. Thanks so much for sharing this through paperbackswap. I will be offering this to the girls in one of the two chick lit perpetual boxes that I participate in.
Sending this one to ryanreader through Booknose's virtual perpetual chick lit bookbox.
