Narrative As Books The Trade Off

 "With wit and sharp insight, the authors of THE TRADE OFF provide a behind-the-scenes peek at the Machiavellian world of a luxury Manhattan store, its executives, designers, clerks—and demanding socialite customers.  Told in the knowing voice of the store’s ambitious shopping salon director, THE TRADE OFF is a fast-paced, entertaining read.” —Dr. Joyce Brown, President of Fashion Institute of Technology

Go behind the window displays.  Behind the racks.  Two personal shoppers for Manhattan's biggest department stores have written a wildly dishy novel that goes behind the dressing rooms of New York’s fashion elite.

At Frankel’s New York, the wives of billionaires and Hollywood celebrities sip champagne while stylists and tailors cater to every whim.  And one person has made it her career to help these Amex-wielding shoppers create the perfect look.

Bonnie Salerno Madden knows all of her client’s preferences, whims, and fantasies.  She knows the price they paid to gain access to the salon where having Bonnie as their private shopper is a first-class ticket to being the toast of the New York high-fashion social scene.

But while Bonnie is all elegance on the outside, she’s barely keeping it together on the inside.  A single mom to a special needs child, she needs her high-pressure job to care for her family.  And when that job is put in jeopardy, Bonnie will need to make some of the riskiest choices of her life to guarantee a better future for her son, and for herself.  With the opportunity to live in her own fairy tale, will Bonnie have what it takes to make the trade off? 

“THE TRADE OFF is a riveting page-turner even for a non-shopper like me. The ultimate tale of New York life.”—David Patrick Columbia, newyorksocialdiary.com

Piece Epithetical Books The Trade Off

On the surface this book is a light read about fashion and the fashion world. Bonnie, a middle-class, thirty-something, divorced woman with a 6yr-old, high-functioning autistic son works as a successful stylist in a department store in New York City, helping celebrity clients figure out what to wear. Very much like in the show Ugly Betty, Bonnie lives in Queens, and she struggles to reconcile the life she lives at work with the life she has at home. Under the surface, this book brings up all

Where do I meet Steve Kline?EntertainingI'm obsessed with the Manhattan life for somr reason. It amuses me and thrills me. This novel feed that obsession.

In which the story of a personal shopper and single mother to a kid with Asperger's syndrome (minor plot line) is told. I'm not sure if it was so much that the book was solid or that I read it right after the almost-terrible Where Does Caitlyn Go to School, but I give this book a much higher rating for character like-ability and story development.

A wonderful inside view into the whirlwind world of a single Italian New York mother from Queens, who tries to earn a living working as a personal shopper for the rich and famous in the lion's den of a large Gotham department store.Authors Louise Maniscalco and Susan Rudin, both New York sales floor veterans of the highly confidential and secretive "Personal Shopper World" over decades, share funny and heartwarming insider stories about money and make-up, shirts and skirts, taxes and Texas.

Great book! A very fun, easy read! An interesting and exciting behind the scenes peek into the lives and tales of personal shoppers and the women who shop! Fun read for women who love to shop. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends!

Slow and steady development of characters throughout the story. This book captured me from the first page. It's not gossipy or trashy, instead it showed me Bonnie's life: demanding job with backstabbing co-workers and unreasonable customers, single mom raising an autistic son and watching her ex husband fall in love and start a new family. She has so much on her plate that she doesn't have any energy left over for a personal life, which is why it was so great to see her evaluate and make
