Taylor Green is a corn-fed young man from the Midwest who stumbles into New York without a clue, a contact, or the proper wardrobe. Through true serendipity (or possibly misfortune), he is hired by the outrageous Jennie Weinstein, the sleepless city's most notorious public relations diva. As he morphs into her most trusted assistant and confidant, Taylor is sucked into a whirlwind of restaurant openings, gossip, and fashion shows. Suddenly, Taylor is thrust into the center of a world he never knew existed: a world of sex, greed, power, drugs, and fame ruled by Jennie Weinstein herself. Under Jennie's guidance, Taylor quickly discovers that there isn't a catastrophe, betrayal, or personality that can't be spun to suit a client's needs. The perks are sweet: rubbing elbows (and other appendages) with big-name celebrities, the sudden parting of velvet ropes, and thousands of dollars' worth of free designer duds. But like all swag, it comes at a price, and Taylor struggles to balance his own definition of sanity with that of Jennie's drug-fueled, high-intensity world. The stakes only get higher, for as Taylor rapidly climbs New York's social ladder, Jennie's assignments become increasingly bizarre. Finally, when his relentless pursuit of "spin" threatens to spin his own life totally out of control, Taylor is forced to decide whether the cutthroat ends of a top public relations business justify the diabolical and often hilarious means to a successful career. Funny, sexy, and irresistibly dishy, Spin is a shocking look behind the scenes of the glittering celebrity world. |
