Southern Charm by Tinsley Mortimer
This "pink Ladurée macaron of a novel" (The New York Times) is a modern Manhattan fairy tale about a Southern belle who must decide if the glamorous life she thought she wanted is really everything she hoped it would be.Southern girl Minty Davenport has always dreamed of skyscrapers, yellow cabs, and a life like Eloise's in New York City. So upon graduation from college, she bids adieu to Charleston and makes a beeline for the Big Apple. Almost instantly, she finds herself at an event being photographed for Women's Wear Daily, and her career as a New York society "It Girl" is launched.
But as Minty navigates the ironclad customs of New York society, a blossoming love life, and a job working for a ruthless and powerful publicist, she finds that the rules a southern belle lives by--being nice to everyone, accentuating her femininity, and minding her manners--don't necessarily guarantee success in Manhattan. But the more she emulates the Manhattan elite, the more complicated her life becomes.
When a fellow "It Girl" spearheads a smear campaign against Minty, starting rumors that threaten to ruin Minty's social standing for good, Minty is forced to consider if the glamorous life she thought she wanted is really everything she hoped it would be.
