Some Like It Haute
Julie K. L. Dam
(Reviewer - Rebecca Brown)
2006 Warner Books
ISBN: 0446533408

An American journalist goes to Fashion Week in Paris.

Alexandra Simons dashes about in a dither of drama & desperation.

Not my usual fare, I'm light years away from the “madding crowd” mesmerized by fashion & tv reality shows, Some Like It Haute, written in a first-person fashion maven's voice, is like reading a wish list of the fashion-challenged.

Some Like It Haute has it all: a handsome hunk, a roster of all the names that put everyone in a flutter, Americans abroad, wardrobe malfunctions up the wazoo, maddening misunderstandings... & Romance. &, in the end, the gal does get the guy!

As is often noted by the charming & frenetic Alex, she's both “smart & shallow” with a razor sharp sonar for the absurd. Some Like It Haute, Julie K. L. Dam's debut novel, is a breathless romp, with lashings of humor, for those who idolize the inner workings of the fashion world.
