By Jane Green

If money can't buy you love, it still comes in handy when you want to be swathed in the Gucci and Prada labels craved by Libby Mason, a London showbiz publicist who can't afford the glad rags and can't find a man. Her choices are slim: Nick, a gorgeous novelist who is broke and lives in a dump, and Ed, a moneyed financier whose Platinum AmEx card can't buy him a personality. Libby means well, but her gold-digging streak couldn't be more obvious if she carried a pickax. It takes her the whole book to figure out what readers know before they get past the title page: Love is more important than a society-page wedding. (Broadway, $19.95)

Bottom Line: Maybe not
