INSTANTNEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER
From Brian Moylan, the writer ofVulture's legendaryReal Housewivesrecaps, a table-flipping, finger-pointing, halter-topping VIP journey through reality TV's greatest saga¦
In the spring of 2006, a new kind of show premiered on Bravo:The Real Housewives of Orange County. Its stars were tanned, taut, and bedazzled; their homes were echoey California villas; and their drama was gossip-fueled, wine-drenched, and absolutely exquisite. Fifteen seasons on,RHOCis an institution, along withThe Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and more. Over the years these ladies have done a lot more than lunch, launching thirty-one books, a cocktail line, two jail sentences, a couple supermodel daughters, Andy Cohen's talk show career, thirty-six divorces, fourteen albums, a White House party crash, and approximately one million memes.
Brian Moylan has been there through it all, in front of the screen and behind the scenes. The writer ofVulture's beloved series recaps, he's here to tell us the full story, from the inside scoop on every classic throwdown to the questions we've always wanted to know, like what are the housewives really like off-camera? (The same.) How much money do they make? (Lots.) He has a lot to say about the legacy and fandom of a franchise that's near and dear to his heart, and inextricable from pop culture today.
A must-have for any fan of real drama and fake [redacted],The Housewivesis the definitive companion to an American TV treasure.
