Marcy Dermansky recommends
Based Upon Availability (2010) Alix Strauss "Alix Strauss takes my idea of the swanky Four Seasons Hotel and turns it upside down. Anything goes: ladies lunching, rooms ransacked, illicit pills taken, S&M fantasies explored - plus fabulous spa treatments for good measure. Based Upon Availability is full of surprises. I could not turn the pages fast enough." |
