    About this audiobook

    For two decades, thirty-nine-year-old Eden Clyde has been enjoying wealth and glamour as the muse and lover of Otto Clyde, the ultrafamous, and much older, king of the art world. Genetically, she hit the lottery, but Eden is unlucky in love: Eighteen years ago she put aside her dream of true love and marriage, and has turned a blind eye to Otto's philandering in exchange for a life without want. In her younger days this seemed like a fair bargain, but as forty looms overhead - and as the beauty for which she's known begins to fade - she feels the cost of the arrangement finally taking its toll on her happiness.

    Eden leaves their cozy downtown loft for New York's frostier Upper East Side, where she begins to search for the girl and the life she left so many years ago. With encouragement from a raucous but lovable group of girlfriends, Eden soon finds herself embroiled in a heated love affair with Gotham's most eligible bachelor: the much younger Chase Lydon. But just as their relationship is getting serious, an old flame resurfaces. Does Eden want the life she's living - and loving - right now, or the love she left behind? On the brink of her fortieth birthday, it's time for Eden to follow her heart, but this time not even Eden is sure where that will lead. . . .

    Poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, and written with heart and humor, Arm Candy shows that although sometimes forty may feel like the ultimate f word, it's never too late to find true love.

      TOO SACCHARINE!! I wanted an easy, light read but this was just beyond stupid. Initially, the plot itself was not bad but then the story and the little anecdotes throughout were extremely juvenile and mind numbing. I rolled my eyes repeatedly thru this book. I only kept listening because I thought “maybe” she’ll redeem it at the end but NOPE! It’s like her editor called and said “you need to get this book done in two hours” so she vomited up a lame ending, so predictable. Do not waste your time.

      I thought it was fairly well written, but I realized at the end of the book I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters. Not the main ones, not even any of the minor ones. In fact, I found I disliked most of the characters from both categories. Everyone just seemed so superficial and snobby. Just my take.

      This was a fun story about a 39-year-old model, Eden, who is coming to grips with turning 40, and changes in her life - her long-time boyfriend and baby daddy, Otto, has turned to younger women. I really enjoyed this very New York story, charged with Kargman's trademark gossipy dialogue and insider's eye.
