As Seen on TV
Buy the book:When Sunny Langstein decides to pack up her Florida life and move in with her boyfriend in Manhattan, her big sister isn't thrilled. What modern-day twenty-four year old leaves her promising career, fabulous friends, and perfect underground parking spot with accompanying convertible for a guy?
Only, Sunny has an additional incentive: the chance to star on Party Girls, the latest reality-television show. True, she might become a national laughingstock and it pays nothing, BUT it's a job — a job in Manhattan. She'll get to be with her boyfriend, Steve. Okay, so she can't tell anyone she isn't single — but with freebie designer clothes, alpha-beta peels, and coconut-cream pedicures to make her transformation into a made-for-TV single girl complete...she can't lose!
But when the show's premiere plunges Sunny into a media frenzy of talk shows, tampon endorsements, TV heartthrobs, and S&M toys, how long will it take for Sunny to lose track of where she ends and her alter ego, Sunny Lang the Uber Fashionista Single Superstar, begins?
