The Darlings of Orange County is a complete about-face for Savannah of Williamsurg author, Jennifer Susannah Devore. Writing as Jennifer S. Devore, her adults-only, contemporary-fiction, bikini-and-martini novel is a salacious, satirical, comical and harrowing romp chock full of eco-terrorism, horse-racing scandals, weed deals and the obligatory lipstick-lesbian affair that inevitably leads to murder. It all builds to a mind-shattering, white-knuckled climax in a glitzy, celebrity-stacked Laguna Beach Film Premiere that spells,, mostly, success for the lovely and long-suffering Veronica Darling, and trouble for her friends and family. If you're an Arrested Development or Real Housewives fan, this is the beachside, or poolside, read for you!
"Ha! This story is so funny!!! Warning, this is definitely a rated R book, but the twists, turns, and teasers throughout the story made it hard for me to put down. It's an hysterical account of all the craziness that can occur when Orange County meets Hollywood. Loved how the story line comes together at the end."
