I LOVED this book!!!!! Set in South Beach in the late nineties when sex, drugs, celebrities and parties ruled the town and only beautiful people need apply Elle Sampson takes the town by storm. In what feels like moments she skyrockets to the editor position at South Beach magazine, has a fabulous Mansion in the sky and a Ferrari at her disposal. All the women want to be her, or kill her and all the men want to f- her.

But in the background lurks Gabrielle Simpson, former Little Miss America, child sexual abuse victim and witness to the murder of her father. The leaders of South beach have hurt Garbrielle and they will pay.

I can't wait for the next book from this author
