WOLVES IN CHIC CLOTHING

Sounding wickedly bitchy, Susan Denaker reads us a hilariously trashy Cinderella saga. Julia, a clerk in the chic jewelry store Pelham's, is "adopted" by Pelham heiress Lell and her dilettante friends, and exchanges her East Village lifestyle for Park Avenue. Denaker imbibes Julia with innocence yet captures the sharp tongues of the super rich. When Julia makes the mistake of tapping Lell's husband as her Prince Charming, her dream life collapses. Denaker drives home the life lesson learned: Never sleep with the boss's husband. She keeps the hot- and-heavy action going at a lively and lilting pace, and gives each of Lell's look-alike cronies a distinct personality.
