Trading Up Summary

Trading Up by Candace Bushnell

When Janey Wilcox makes it big as a Victoria's Secret model, she finally gets the celebrity status she has always craved. Suddenly the car of her dreams is hers, and even better, so is that house in New York's exclusive Hamptons. No longer will she have to choose her boyfriends according to who has a house she can summer in. At the most exclusive of Hampton parties, Janey finds herself mingling with Hollywood celebrities and the cream of New York society. But all this is secondary when she is charmed and captivated by a handsome, successful man, a man who quickly becomes her new beau. Janey, though, is not the type to live happily ever after, especially with her chequered past of far from good behaviour. By the author of SEX AND THE CITY and FOUR BLONDES, TRADING UP is classic Candace Bushnell: wickedly funny social satire at its most sassy and entertaining.

Trading Up Reviews

Judging from the first swathe of manuscript available of Bushnell's first full-length novel, it is a divinely delicious and wicked satire on New York society. The author of Four Blondes and Sex and the City, (which both sold 150,000 copies for Abacus) is mistress of the cutting remark, and makes a great play of two glamorous, silly, superficial women flinging false compliments at each other while they manoeuvre around the men at exclusive parties and the polo field. Waspishly fine writing lies at the core of this comedy of manners as Janey Wilcox, suddenly fashionable as a supermodel photographed in her underwear for half of America, plays her rise into society circles for all she can, while what she really wants is a successful man, despite her chequered past. Exceedingly droll, eminently readable.
