false <![CDATA[Bought: A Novel]]> 6330409 1 <p> Anna David turns her reporter's eye for detail toward Tinseltown's seedy underbelly yet again and "eloquently and humorously unveil[s] what could be a new subgenre: Chick Lit with a Message" (<i>New York Post</i>). </p> <p> Tired of gathering banal quotes from the B-list on the sidelines of the red carpet, Emma Swanson publicly yearns for a more substantial career but privately dreams of a hotshot boyfriend to transport her into the beating heart of the Hollywood scene. Instead, she meets Jessica—beautiful, cavalier, manipulative—who shamelessly trades sex for the gifts it can bring. Convinced that writing a story about Jessica and her ilk would seriously boost her journalistic cred, Emma soon finds herself sucked into a world where the luxuries of prettied-up prostitution may cost more than she ever expected. </p> 6516073 1 6 2009 Bought: A Novel total:54|5:12|4:11|3:17|2:7|1:7| 54 176 187 26 4 0 false false Wed May 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 10:15:45 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 10:17:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 19:29:58 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 19:47:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Apr 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 15:33:25 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 15:51:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat May 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 19:19:03 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 19:39:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jul 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 18:00:35 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 18:04:44 -0700 2009 Anna David takes us into the world of women who trade sexual favors for gifts.
