Synopsis

Feast your eyes on Clarissa.
At twenty-eight (thirty-one), Clarissa Alpert is blessed with a designer wardrobe, a daddy-subsidized apartment, and an A-list speed-dial. Gorgeous and wildly uninhibited, she has amassed a list of exes that amounts to a Who's Who of Hollywood power players. But with her twenty-ninth (thirty-second) birthday looming, she starts to panic. Who on earth could possibly make her an honest woman?

She's reserved a table for two.
Enter Aaron Mason, the latest, hottest new producer in town, who Clarissa decides is the future "Mr. Alpert." With the help of her vivacious friends, her aerobicized Latina mother, her ex-con father, and the most divine gay waiter in Hollywood, Clarissa plans the biggest wedding L.A. has seen in years -- all before the couple's first date. Catching Aaron's eye is not the problem. He just seems to have his own agenda. Could Clarissa have finally bitten off more than she can chew?

Goodreads review by Amy on February 29, 2008

I'm listened to the audiobook which is read by Uma Thurman! It took me a couple of tries with this audiobook, I got to badly scratched versions of this before I finally got an undamaged one. I can't quite decide what to think about this book. The main character was a little (okay a lot) selfish and s......more

Goodreads review by Lindsey on June 17, 2007

It's a really quirky, sex-in-the-city-esque book. I loved it and would recommend for anyone wanting a sunny beach read. It's not taxing and isn't something with save-the-world substance but it's fun!......more

Goodreads review by Kasey on May 16, 2007

The girl in this book was nuts. Actually everyone in the book was a little strange, presenting this cast of characters that could only be found in shallow LA. The main character was spoiled, living in an apartment paid for by her father and she just found out that she was being cut off from the fami......more

Goodreads review by MyChickLitLife on April 09, 2013

Another gift from a friend. Read in a shopping centre food hall, during lunch breaks on my short-lived media job. This is the story of the scheming, conniving, LA girl Clarissa as she sets out to bag herself a husband. The book's 10 years old - and it shows - and is written in a fast flowing, manic s......more
