Twenty-one-year-old It-Girl Abby and her plucky best friend, Clea, embark on a spur-of-the-moment revenge trip to London - Abby, in pursuit of the young novelist who has cannibalized her in his literary debut and Clea desperately seeking Madonna.
Brooke Berman 's delicious literary comedy .
Twisted obsession is just one of the themes that Berman navigates with skill and humor in this sharp satire.
In addition, her eloquent, self-aware characters mull over issues of hero-worship and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, as it relates to fact and fiction: Seeing oneself refracted in a novel can lead to an identity crisis for the subject .
Berman's tale, which wriggles between past, present and the sub-Nabokovian world of the book .
this hip skewering of sexual and literary politics is more than just a pose.
-David Cote, Time Out New York.
