& Taylor
A tale loosely based on the author's early adulthood follows the experiences of a struggling actress and outspoken businesswoman whose ambitions lead her through several high-profile relationships.
Simon and Schuster
“Who do I have to sleep with to get a drink on this plane?”
Beloved by countless fans for being devilishly dishy, outrageously funny, and always giving it to us straight, three-time New York Times bestselling author Bethenny Frankel now makes her fiction debut with the story of Faith Brightstone. Faith is an aspiring actress just out of college, who moves to L.A. determined to have it all—a job on the most popular TV show, a beach house in Malibu, and a gorgeous producer boyfriend. But when reality hits, she finds herself with a gig as a glorified servant, a role that has more to do with T&A than acting, and a dead-end relationship. Finally, Faith decides she’s had enough of La La Land and moves back to New York with just a suitcase and her dog, Muffin.
Five years later, Faith has finally found her groove as an entrepreneur and manages to land a spot on a new reality TV show hosted by her idol—the legendary businesswoman and domestic goddess Sybil Hunter. Diving into the bizarre world of reality TV, Faith’s loud mouth and tell-it-like-it-is style immediately get her in trouble with her fellow contestants—the delusional socialite; the boozy lifestyle coach; the moody headband designer; and her closest friend, the ambitious housewife who eventually betrays her. Even Sybil is not what she appears.
As the show comes to a dramatic close, Faith discovers that the man of her dreams may have just walked into her life. Will she choose fame or love? Or can she have it all?

Add a CommentI usually enjoy chick lit, but I found the first few chapters of this book quite upsetting. The heroine was initially quite reprehensible. A vacuous and thoroughly unpleasant slattern. However, the character soon morphs into a bright, amusing, loyal and hard-working young woman who finds herself on reality tv with a vicious Martha Stewart type character. It turns out that this novel is quite autobiographical and the author was indeed on reality tv (The Apprentice) with ....Martha Stewart! Frankel now has her on reality tv show. An easy read.
Very similar to Bethenny's personal story..the plot was ok and somewhat predictable...still an ok read.
It reminded me of what the show masterchef is like combined with what bethenny describes is her life.
This book seemed close to what life is like for Bethenny Frankel. I love her whit, but the book was a little too close to what she's mentioned about her family. A father that cared more about the horse races than raising his daughter, a mother who was never there for her, clubs and reality TV. It was pretty much Bethenny's life story with a little bit of fiction thrown in. I would consider this book average at best.
If you like Bethenny Frankel you will love this book. True to life, fast and funny read!
