"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 forensically well-observed narrative....will it do for the Cotswolds what F. Scott Fitzgerald did for the Hamptons....a shiny satirette of country living where everyone is unmuddied but filthy rich." -- The Times (London)
"Floats like cherry blossom onto a chalk stream. . . . Sykes has chosen a rich (as in minted) target, and she is well-equipped to take aim. . . . When it comes to the lifestyles of the UHNWs (ultra-high-net-worths) of Poshtershire, she knows. And she certainly can write. . . . Some novels make one's mouth water because descriptions of food saturate their pages like butter-soaked muslin. Here it's clothes. Designer clothes. . . . It's cleverly structured, very well-written and has a delicious, knowing ending." -- The Spectator (UK)
"Sykes delivers another wickedly funny look at the upper crust when wealthy American divorcees invade the British countryside and a stately home worthy of Downton Abbey." -- Parade, "Best New Book Releases"
"Sykes gives Kevin Kwan a run for his money in this saga of obscene wealth, designer outfits, miniature dog breeds, and over-the-top landscaping set in Oxfordshire, a rural area of vast estates now mostly in the hands of the nouveau riche. . . . Crazy Rich Brits may not have the amazing cuisine of their Asian counterparts, but they are just as scheming, fabulous, and fun to read about. . . . You'll dive in and never look back." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The Real Housewives meets Downton Abbey in this modern-day comedy of manners. . . . Full of sly commentary. . . . an escapist, dishy read." -- Booklist
"The satire of the summer." -- Air Mail
"Sykes's (Bergdorf Blondes) new novel moves from New York to the English countryside but maintains her humorous focus on the elite lives of rich (though not always happy) women. . . . Light and fun with just a hint of gentle satire, this novel will delight Sykes's fans." -- Library Journal
"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
"The latest from the beloved Bergdorf Blondes author is a comedy of manners with an emphasis on the comedy. . . . In Sykes's skilled and observant hands, however, madcap fare is always more than just a good time, it's a nuanced look inside a specific world, where even the most humorous happenings can tell us something meaningful about the decidedly less glamorous lives we mere readers live." -- Town and Country, "The 45 Must-Read Books of Spring"
"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
