Book Description
When in doubt, it's time to callin the Council of Girlfriends
"Princess" Grace, the relentless romantic; La Diva Lola, a South American celebrity chef with a secret sex life; Mamma Mia, who took the Husband & Children exit to the suburbs; The Fabulous Ellie Archer, a journalist who follows her heart across an ocean; and Mistress of the Universe Lexi James, Philadelphia's premiere PR exec, who has plenty of women in her life, but no man.
Lexi James knows that men come and go (mostly go), but the Council of Girlfriends is forever.
Lexi's used to being the woman with the plan, but lately her plan is unraveling like a discount sweater. First, a suburban supermarket meltdown made her end her engagement to Mr. (Not So) Perfect. Then one too many run-ins with her status-seeking boss left her shining career a little lackluster.But Lexi knows she can count on the COG to help make things right. There are no secrets between these ladies -- or so Lexi thinks. Because she's about to learn it's not only her life that's taken some unexpected turns. And with more surprises still ahead, the Council could be in for their wildest ride yet.
About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars
The soul of a generation, April 15 2005
By M. Z. Levy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lexi James and the Council of Girlfriends (Paperback)
This is more than just a new book. This is the beginning of an adventure -- perhaps an era. Melissa Jacobs shows pure brilliance in capturing the bliss and agnst of a generation that's grown up worshiping free will and expensive shoes. Her style is pretty and witty and wise, with tremendous attention to character detail and development. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish the book had even more sex.
Don't wait for the movie or the TV show. Read the book. Buy the book.
