I first read this book in high school. What a scandalous pleasure it was. My best friend and I read portions to each other and giggled. At the time it was the height of naughtiness. I decided to read it again just for a trip down memory lane. The writing is kind of trashy, but I do like that several portions make more sense now that I'm older and know more places. Oh yes, and the smush is wonderful. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

In Beverly Hills only the infirm and senile do not drive their own cars. The local police are accustomed to odd combinations of vehicle and driver: the stately, nearsighted retired banker making an illegal left-hand turn in his Dino Ferrari, the teen-ager speeding to a tennis lesson in a fifty-five-thousand-dollar Rolls-Royce Corniche, the matronly civic leader blithely parking her bright red Jaguar at a bus stop.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553284657, Mass Market Paperback)

Scruples is the novel that created publishing history, the first-and widely acknowledged to be the very best-novel ever written about the staggeringly luxurious life of a Beverly Hills boutique and the people who work in it. Scruples was translated into twenty languages and made Rodeo Drive famous around the world. The New York Post said that "Scruples was born to be a smash bestseller. . . It has more inside information about the worlds of high fashion and Hollywood than you'd find in a dozen manuals." With Scruples, Judith Krantz earned her reputation as a blazingly talented and original storyteller. she takes her readers behind the scenes of wealthy and fame to show them the real people and the real emotions that exist at the core of even the most high-powered lives. Scruples is the leader of her #1 best-selling novels.
