"WIVES LIKE US may be set in the most gorgeous English manor house, but I'd happily sleep in the shed if it meant I could tag along with these marvelous characters--Tata, Minty, and their chic and crafty butler." -- Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street "A fabulous and funny bucolic romp--Plum Sykes does it again." -- Hannah Rothschild, author of The Improbability of Love "A stiletto-sharp look at the glamorous end of the Cotswolds. I loved it!" -- Katie Fforde "I absolutely adored Wives Like Us, I thought it was so fun and funny, a romp and a riot--and a glorious dollop of much needed escapism." -- Daisy Buchanan "Delectable. The silly, lovable heroines at the heart of this satire are mostly paired up anyway--but what's to stop them from hunting for husband number two? Sykes sets the modern-day measures of social influence (Instagram followers, bikini line start-ups, glam teams at one's beck and call) against the traditional Cotswold landscape of manor houses and horse stables, and the result is a delightful mash-up: a loving portrait of a social milieu that recognizes the value of tradition but is also perpetually chasing what's new." -- Vogue, Best Books of the Year So Far "A rollicking murder mystery. a wildly entertaining romp.
Laugh? I died." -- Vogue on Party Girls Die in Pearls "As fizzy and moreish (Britspeak for 'delectable') as a glass of pink champagne, this murder mystery by a fashionista turned fiction writer uncorks a detective series set at England's august Oxford College. But this novel is more than a chick-lit whodunit. In the telling, Sykes, an Oxford alum herself, lays bare the institution's arcane norms and reconstructs the scene of a crime against humanity: the over-the-top decadence of the Material Girl era." -- O, the Oprah Magazine on Party Girls Die in Pearls "Take one posh university, mix in a queen bee, throw in a murder, and you've got a mystery that makes Heathers look almost snoozy." -- Cosmopolitan on Party Girls Die in Pearls "Into the blender go Anita Loos, Bridget Jones, Sex and the City, and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction." -- New York Times on Bergdorf Blondes "Perfectly pitched--playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times.
" -- Anna Wintour on Bergdorf Blondes.
