Book description
Lively young socialite Nancy Carrington-Chambers has always believed an
excellent sense of style and strict attention to detail are what it
takes to succeed, but her own husband Todd is showing symptoms of
incurable tackiness, so Nancy flees their McMansion for her posh San
Francisco apartment. She knows her event planning company, Froth, is a
real winner, but she must prove herself by reinventing the turgid
Barbary Coast Historical Museum fundraiser. Luckily, Nancy now has the
perfect assistant. Derek Cathcart is British, impeccably dressed,
gorgeous, and clearly gay-so why does Nancy find him so attractive?
Before Nancy can unravel her feelings, her irresponsible cousin
Birdie abandons her little daughter with Nancy and takes off. Nancy,
Derek, and Eugenia make an unlikely “family,” but strangely it seems
incredibly right. Now Nancy's parents are pressuring her to return to
Todd, and she still has to pull off a spectacular party. For someone
who's always known exactly where she's going, Nancy is in dangerously
uncharted waters.
Irresistibly funny and romantic, Nancy's Theory of Style shows
that happiness and
love-just like fashion-aren't about playing it safe.
"Nancy's Theory of Style is a fiercely fun and
witty contemporary love story nestled in one of San Francisco's
trendiest neighborhoods, Pacific Heights. San Francisco native Grace
Coopersmith introduces the world to Nancy Edith Carrington-Chambers, a
stylish young socialite who leaves her marriage and opens a party
planning and style business, challenging her to dodge the curveballs
life can throw at you. This heartwarming and romantic story will have
readers pacing in their Prada's to see what happens next."
