by Jessica Cutler
Deliciously gossipy and impossible to put down, The
Washingtonienne is every bit as outrageously scandalous as the
real-life exploits that inspired it....In May, 2004, 26-year-old
Jessica Cutler was thrust into the public eye when the on-line diary
she kept for her friends exploded into Washington's scandale du
jour. Immediately fired from her job as mail girl in the office of
Senator Mike DeWine (for "unacceptable use of Senate computers"), Jessica remains unemployed in Washington, D.C.
'The flimsy garb of fiction makes for one coy striptease: just how much of Jessica emerges in Jacqueline? Who are the real-life counterparts to her paramours? For those who can conjure last summer's scandal, the reprise will liven up this year's beach batch.' - PW.
