THE GIFT OF JAZZY

Socialite and New York gossip columnist Cindy Adams recounts life with her new Yorkshire terrier following her husband's death. Adams relays the ups and downs of adjusting to her new life with equal amounts of humor, sarcasm, outrage, and gossip. The author's narration only adds more color to her experiences with a wily, out-of-control animal that suddenly dictates her life. Adams manages to come across as extremely proper but still down to earth, even as she reports on the transgressions and excesses of her new dog, high-profile celebrities, and life in upscale New York. Listening to Adams read her own anecdotes is like listening to your craziest friend warmly and honestly ranting, raving, and gossiping for an afternoon. H.L.S.
