Items related to Whacked: A Novel
Synopsis
From Jackie Collins to People magazine, authors and press alike have lauded Whacked as a dark and sexy guilty pleasure. Parade, Real Simple magazine, the New York Post, and the Houston Chronicle all selected Whacked as a summer reading pick, and author Jules Asner was featured everywhere from Good Morning America to the Los Angeles Times.
Life promises to be perfect for Dani Hale. She has an almost-perfect boyfriend named Dave and a dream job writing for the TV crime series Flesh and Bone that allows her to indulge her macabre forensic passions. But something isn't quite right with her relationship, and Dani-a wily and inventive snoop-learns that Dave's real creative talents are (1) lying and (2) cheating on her. Soon she is plunged into the world of Los Angeles singledom, enduring a battalion of bad dates with men whose peccadilloes would drive a lesser woman to kill. At her wit's end, Dani is driven to a dramatic extreme that is as shocking as it is sensible in the girl-eat-girl world of Hollywood.
Praised by critics as the perfect beach read, Jules Asner's Whacked is a wicked tale of relationships, betrayal, and very modern revenge.

Review
"A darkly sexy, insightful, and witty peek into the L.A. dating scene. I couldn't put the book down!"
(Jackie Collins)
"A chilling and fiercely funny look at dating in Tinseltown" (People Magazine)
"Whacked is a terrifically wicked read!" (author of The Devil Wears Prada and Chasing Harry Winston Lauren Weisberger)
"This delightful black comedy shows how easy it is for someone to be driven to extremes-and how seamlessly a person can go from rifling through receipts to reading someone's personal e-mail and beyond. Clever and witty, Asner's debut will appeal to readers who like biting satire." (Booklist)
"Tons of fun...a dishy mix of Tinseltown hackdom, chick lit and, surprisingly, a chilling plot." (Publishers Weekly)
"From a true Hollywood insider, Jules Asner's Whacked takes us by surprise as she cleverly navigates the mind of a spurned girlfriend-funny, witty, and dangerous!"
(author of The Starter Wife Gigi Levangie Grazer)
"As a TV personality, former supermodel and wife of director Steven Soderbergh, Asner is more than qualified to write chick lit set in Hollywood."
(OK! Magazine)
"Asner has captured Hollywood narcissism in all its detail and desperation. There is no one in showbiz who won't recognize Dani Hale as an associate, or girlfriend, or wife, or self. Well, friend of self. I liked this book a lot."
(Mike Nichols)
