Advance Praise for Sex and Shopping

"I absolutely adored this sensation of a book! Judith Krantz takes us way beyond the delights of sex and shopping into the heart and mind of a fascinating, witty, and gutsy woman. She's lived fully, with courage, sensuality, and originality, and, I might add, had one hell of a good time doing it!"-Joan Rivers

"Judith Krantz, who has created some of the most memorable women in fiction, has until now declined to reveal the most fascinating character of them all, herself-shamelessly unveiled in her autobiography. Bravo!"-David Brown, producer of Jaws, The Sting, and Angela's Ashes

"To experience Judith Krantz's full and abundant life is to walk though your own life a fuller and happier woman. The love in this book is deeply touching."-Debbie Reynolds

"Judith Krantz is incapable of writing a dull word. Of course, she is full of baloney. Her book is subtitled The Confessions of a Nice Jewish Girl, which she is not. She is a bad Jewish girl, as attested to by her torrid confessions. You'll want to wolf this story down like chocolate chip cookies."-Helen Gurley Brown

"If you've loved spending time with the heroines in Judith Krantz's novels all these years, you are really going to enjoy the Real One, Judith Krantz herself." -Ali MacGraw"

A stunningly frank and honest autobiography, revealing Judith Krantz's light and dark sides. Both sides are hilarious, sometimes sad, and always compelling. Count on it, they're all romantic. And now I know how she writes those lusty sex scenes. Just don't tell me she makes them up!"-Polly Bergen
