Sex And Shopping: the Confessions of a Nice Jewish Girl: An Autobiography
She used to detest being labeled a "sex-and-shopping novelist," but now Judith Krantz accepts that it "will unquestionably be the first line in my obituary," so she's preempted the pundits by using it as the title of her breezy, earthy memoir.

One of my favorites. A great behind the scenes look into the making of a national bestselling author before the Internet and Sicial Media existed. Plus, frankly, her stories about the lessons she learned from decorating a dream apartment when she moved to Paris, are wonderful, especially because she admits the mistakes she made!
It was great to read this book, and get to know The Author Juduth Krantz , what an interesting lady, I just wish she was still writing books, she is such a fantastic Author with real talent!

...but I only kid because I love.
The first half of the book is totally dishy and fun, with the kind of descriptions of "what normal people did in the olden days" that are absolute catnip to me. The second half drags a bit, but overall a super fun read!

Judith Krantz narrates her life as if it were a novel. An example of self-knowledge and honesty. I really enjoyed reading this book.
