Independent 'Frank, fizzy, and not for the faint-hearted.' YOU Magazine, Mail on Sunday 'Chock-full of bad-girl secrets!tantalizing.' Cosmopolitan 'If you want a sassy read about a sparky New Yorker trying to juggle her professional and private life, then you'll love this!A startling debut that's a cross between "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Pretty Woman"!You can forget the anonymously-written "Belle Du Jour", that rather limp-wristed, supposedly true account of the working life of an upmarket London prostitute which was published to huge fanfare earlier this year. "The Diary Of A Manhattan Call Girl" is not only 10 times funnier, it actually has a storyline.' Daily Mirror 'Unexpectedly wise, observant and best of all -- fun.' Los Angeles Times 'A new perspective on the world's oldest profession.' Honey
