Praised by critics as the perfect beach read and featured on such programs as Good Morning America, Jules Asner's Whacked is a wicked tale of relationships, betrayal, and very modern revenge.
Life promises to be perfect for Dani Hale. She has an almost-perfect boyfriend named Dave and a dream job writing for the TV crime series Flesh and Bone that allows her to indulge her macabre forensic passions. But something isn't quite right with her relationship, and Dani-a wily and inventive snoop- learns that Dave's real creative talents are (1) lying and (2) cheating on her. Soon she is plunged into the world of Los Angeles singledom, enduring a battalion of bad dates with men whose peccadilloes would drive a lesser woman to kill. At her wit's end, Dani is driven to a dramatic extreme that is as shocking as it is sensible in the girl-eat-girl world of Hollywood.

Asner has captured Hollywood narcissism in all its detail and desperation. There is no one in showbiz who won’t recognize Dani Hale as an associate, or girlfriend, or wife, or self. Well, friend of self. I liked this book a lot.”
A darkly sexy, insightful, and witty peek into the L.A. dating scene. I couldn’t put the book down!”
This delightful black comedy shows how easy it is for someone to be driven to extremes—and how seamlessly a person can go from rifling through receipts to reading someone’s personal e-mail and beyond. Clever and witty, Asner’s debut will appeal to readers who like biting satire.”
"Sex and the City meets CSI and goes to Hollywood."”
As a TV personality, former supermodel and wife of Steven Soderbergh, Asner is more than qualified to write chick lit set in Hollywood!”
