About this audiobook
When Melanie Sartomsky, wily Floridian flight attendant, snares billionaire divorcée Arthur "the coffin king" Korn, she is catapulted into the crème de la crème of Park Avenue society, where hiring the wrong decorator is tantamount to social suicide, and where, if you're anyone, your personal assistant has a personal assistant. But Melanie quickly discovers that in the world of the rich and idle, malicious gossip is as de rigeur as owning twenty pairs of Manolo Blahniks. And despite her frenzied plunge into the charity circuit and the right dinner reservations, her neighbors are Givenchy-clad vultures who see her as nothing more than a reinvented trailer trollop. To make matters worse, when a snide society-rag journalist rakes her over the coals, Melanie's reputation is toast.
Meanwhile, Melanie is not the only billionaire in the neighborhood coming unhinged. Kleptomania, adultery, plagiarism, and a grisly Harlem sex murder are just a few of the secrets swirling under the pedigreed patina of furs and emeralds on Park Avenue.
Authors Jill Kargman and Carrie Karasyov know a thing or two about their subject matter. They met at the Upper East Side's chic Spence School and claim that The Right Address is inspired by "the insane socialites we've eavesdropped on our entire lives." Meow.
So kick off your Jimmy Choos, crack open the Veuve Clicquot, and get ready for a rollicking, unforgettable tour of the richer-and-bitchier-than-thou set.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enjoyed & am finally donating as I need to cull bookshelves before moving.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A book full of the seedy-side of the New York's rich and powerful. This book shows the women of this world as gossiping busy-bodies who have nothing better to do with their lives than to put others down. The men are depicted as cheaters, murders, do nothings, and even sexual perverts. This all being said, this book was pretty funny and a nice light read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very amusing story about nouveau riche Melanie Sartomsky, an airline stewardess, who marries Arthur Korn, a billionaire in the funeral home industry. Warm-hearted, enthusiastic Melanie comes from a trailer park and finds herself living with Arthur at "741 Park Avenue, the most coveted building in all of New York City" in a society for which the hapless Melanie is completely unprepared. As Melanie tries desperately to fit in with the established Park Avenue elite, the reader peeks into the ultra-competitive world of high-end charities, lunches, shopping, scandals, slander, blackmail, and oodles of bitching. It's a real relief when Melanie develops the backbone to discern her true interests and her true friends.
