Lynn Blanchett's Steps to Happiness: Step 1: Find a job. (Done I'm doing PR for hotshot young designer Muriel B. -- which I'm totally unqualified for.) Step 2: Find a man. (Check There's a rich, gorgeous man chasing me...so what if I find him infinitely less appealing than my charming, possibly gay, French coworker?) Step 3: Find a translator. (Hmm? I do have that French-English dictionary...but it so doesn't help with the language of love. ) Step 4: Find a shower. (I did just fly in from New York.... I can't be fabulous all the time ) Dropped into a ridiculously cushy job in Paris by her distant fashion-icon mother, all Lynn has to do to prove she's not a fraud (which she is ) is figure out what exactly her job entails, how she got involved in something that can only be described as fashion treason and how to untangle her love life in time to make Muriel B.'s next runway show the event of the season. With time running short and expertise running low, Lynn has little to guide her but a self-help manual that promises twenty steps to happiness. Written by a fashion insider, 21 Steps to Happiness is a dishy must-read whose narrator boldly and hilariously goes where no young American in Paris has gone before -- behind the seams.
Very entertaining! F.G. Gerson has a clever, engaging writing style. Knowing that these characters are based on real individuals, I was captivated by the story. Lynn and Muriel B. are full of surprises. I loved the ending. I enjoyed this book so much, that I'm reading it again!
Highly Recommend

I LOVED this book. I could not put it down after I started reading it. I related to Lynn so much, even the things she says are things that I say all the time. So many laughs and so many *gasps*. I definitely cannot wait to read what else F.G. Gerson has in store... possibly a sequel to this book?? (I just cant get enough of the characters)
Entertaining reading!

This book has given me hours of funny reading. I enjoyed it and I love it. Sometimes when you read a book, you feel that you know what's going to happen on next page. With this book I've always been wrong because something else, funnier and totally unexpected happens. I recommend this book!
Great book!!!

I received this book as a gift and could not stop reading it! I was trapped in the fast pace and witty, humerous writing. The characters build this book into an entertainig journey. I loved it, it captured me from page 1. Lynn is a great character that makes you laugh and cry all through the book. All the best Anna A
