Party Girls - Softcover

Writer Zoey McGuire flees the suburbs of Connecticut and her failed marriage for her editor's posh apartment in New York. Luckily her friends are there to cheer her up: aspiring actress Marielle, real estate agent and recent tantric sex convert Jade, and commitment-shy Merlin. Zoey, the author of three successful novels, is trying to come up with a fourth that will please the audience who loved her first novel, His Daughter's Keeper. Marielle is frustrated with her job as a bartender at a fancy nightclub and her agent's ineptitude at finding her decent auditions. Jade has decided that she needs to find a billionaire to make her dreams come true. And Merlin is trying to decide whether to settle down with his longtime boyfriend, Josh. When Zoey takes up with the handsome contractor working on her editor's apartment, she finds an exhilarating though empty relationship that fuels her writing. Bailey's tale is snazzy, fun, and filled with likable characters worth rooting for. Kristine Huntley

They may be down on their luck, but first-time novelist Roz Bailey's trio of fabulous 30-something Manhattanites are still the eponymous Party Girls in this Sex and the City-style urban romp. Zoey, Jade and Marielle are old college friends reunited when Zoey a bestselling novelist who now can't seem to write anything but sex scenes turns up in the big city after losing her Connecticut house to her ex-husband. She and Marielle, a floundering actress-cum-waitress, try to revive their careers by day and flagging love lives by night at Club Vermillion ("there's a line to get in, plus a line of ambulances for the... kids who O.D."), while Jade, a high-powered real estate broker and the busiest party girl of them all, decides to give monogamy a whirl.
