The debut novel from Deborah Shoenemen is an authentically detailed look at gossip from behind the velvet rope. The insider perspective comes naturally for Shoenemen from her stints as gossip, real estate, and society columnist with newspapers such as the New York Observer and The New York Post, along with writing for New York Magazine. From the opening chapter:

”With her new job as “legs” for a gossip column, Kate Simon often feels as if she’s crawling on all fours. There’s too much to see and do. Stories to devour and spit back up in bite-sized items for the New York Examiner every week. Things to catch up on, things she wishes she already knew as soon as she learns them. It’s hard to sleep when you feel as though the whole city is wide awake and feasting.”
