Skinnydipping

The perfect guilty pleasure novel, Skinnydipping is the sexy and hilarious story of Faith Brightstone, an aspiring actress just out of college, who moves to LA determined to have it all - a job on the most popular TV show, a beach house in Malibu, and a gorgeous producer boyfriend. But when Hollywood hands her a gig as a glorified servant, a role that has more to do with T&A than acting, and a dead-end relationship, Faith decides she's had enough of La La Land and moves back to New York with just a suitcase and her dog Muffin.

Five years later, Faith has finally found her groove as an entrepreneur and manages to land a spot on a new reality TV show hosted by her idol-the legendary businesswoman and Domestic Goddess Sybil Hunter. Diving into the bizarre world of reality TV, Faith's loud mouth and tell-it-like-it-is style immediately gets her in trouble with her fellow contestants - the delusional socialite, the boozy lifestyle coach, the flighty jewelry-maker, and her closest friend, the self-proclaimed housewife who eventually betrays her. Even Sybil is not what she appears. As the show comes to a dramatic close, Faith discovers that the man of her dreams may have just walked in to her life. Will she choose fame or love? Or can she have it all?

Fans will jump at the chance to read about the wild tales, thrilling highs, and cringe-worthy lows of Bethenny's first shaky steps into adulthood. So gather up your girlfriends and have a blast speculating about where the reality ends and the fiction begins in this outrageously entertaining and bawdy roman à clef.
