Semi-Charmed Life
Autor Nora Zelevanskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2012
In Nora Zelevansky's hilarious debut, Semi-Charmed Life, an Upper West Side naif, Beatrice Bernstein, gets swept up in the seemingly magical life of famous-for-nothing twenty-something, Veruca Pfeffernoose, while ghost writing her blog. Veruca's glitteringly opulent world soon seduces Beatrice away from her own insular, arty family with a promise of fancy parties, travel outside Manhattan (for once) and one desperately cute guy. But when her new glitzy lifestyle starts to take on dark undertones, Beatrice has to decide who she is once and for all. With her own magical touch, Zelevansky deftly explores the world of rarified Manhattan in this sparkling modern fairy tale of first love, finding one's voice and growing up."

"An amazing new voice, a romantic and magical romp through the hip, glitzy and overheated and over-hyped worlds of fashion, art and music...Deft, funny, inspired."--Molly Jong-Fast, Author of "The Social Climber's Handbook"
""Semi-Charmed Life" is a deliciously dizzying comedic mystery, filled with as many twists and turns as the maps that Beatrice, the main character, collects.

Nora's writing is unselfconsciously stylish, giddy with references to art and pop-culture, and wholly entertaining."--Aury Wallington, author of the "New York Times" bestselling novel "Saving Charlie" and former "Sex and The City" writer
