Reader with a Cause discussion

The book is dedicated "To the real Deeby with many thanks."

As we were reading this book, we all wondered if Lula, Duffield, and/or Deeby were modeled after any British or American celebrities.

What do you think?

I thought about this A LOT - and I have no real ideas. :)

I spent a lot of time thinking about Rihanna & Chris Brown while reading this -- with some obvious differences, they seem like the closest, high-profile comparison to Lula & Evan to me. Young, super-rich, and paparazzi-saturated -- with a relationship that has been publicly dissected for years now.

Although it didn't occur to me before, the Bestiguis could be modeled off of Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi.

Duffield was Pete Docherty for me. Nigella and Charles as the Bestiguis? Now that is interesting! But Nigella does have more character than Tansi or Tara or whatever her name was.

I will give you that. :)

And I can totally see Duffield as Pete Doherty. Good call!!
