Size Eight in a Size Zero World: Meredith Cagen's Debut Novel Offers Provocative Look on Love, Life, Libido and Low-Fat Yogurt in New York City

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindsay Chandler is a complicated woman caught in the shallow society of Manhattan's snooty Upper East Side controlled by social X-rays in this funny and deliciously naughty take on the boy-next-door story.

This witty and inspirational novel features a wicked commentary on the whole New York social scene (private schools, charity dinners, Hampton homes, model arm-candy, social climbers). We follow the love-struck Lindsay, a multi-tasking working wife and mother, on an infatuation-turned-obsession for her upstairs neighbor - a man she met on the elevator. Hers is an aspiration filled with hope and wonder, warmth and wanton lust.

Life is perfect on the outside for Lindsay: handsome attorney husband, two healthy children, friends, a job with flexibility and a beautiful New York City home. Then one day on the elevator of her posh luxury high-rise, she meets "The Man Upstairs," and becomes convinced that he is the perfect one.

Her friends tell her, "Perfect men only exist in online dating profiles."

Nonetheless determined not to become a member of the Lonely Wives Club, Lindsay devises Plan B, a practical strategy to change herself, maintain her new friendship and improve her life. Her journey is empowering and motivational.

But can a girl who actually eats cheeseburgers with fries make this happen on the Upper East Side without counting calories?

In the tradition of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones's Diary, Size Eight in a Size Zero World is the contemporary story of a good girl who is trying to do the right thing and the wrong thing simultaneously, while remaining true to herself, whoever that is.

About the Author

Accidental author Meredith Cagen, a New York City resident, has drawn on a storehouse of personal experience in writing this exciting, unpredictable, and yet believable adventure in romance.

"My debut novel is fiction based on my reality as an Upper East Side working wife and mother. Surrounded by seemingly picture-perfect, double-processed blonde mannequins dressed in look-alike designer clothes, with their honor roll children and bland husbands who lead extraordinary lives, I found myself wondering whether 'having it all' means giving up the most important thing: your uniqueness."
