Nice cover but somehow I feel the book will be full of BS.
Countess LuAnn de Lesseps‘ book debut, Class With the Countess: How to Live with Elegance and Flair, isn’t even on sale yet, but she’s already working on a follow up.
“It’s going to be more about how you start over,” the Real Housewives of New York City says.
Starting over is something she’s getting well acquainted with these days. Late last month, LuAnn’s husband, Count Alex, ended their 16-year marriage with an email explaining he was involved with another woman.
“There’s a mourning period right now,” the countess explained. “I’m going through the stages of what every breakup might be. It’s been difficult, but I will get to the other side. Once one door closes, the other door’s opening.”
Throughout her book (think a modern-day guide to etiquette à la Emily Post), LuAnn gushes over Alex, calling him one of the most elegant men she has ever met and remembering that she knew they would get married within days of meeting.
She has no plans to amend the book in any future printings. “He’s a wonderful man,” she said. “We’ve had problems, and things have happened. We’re going through a tough time…We’re going to remain friends and do the right thing for our kids.”
Doing the right thing is exactly what her book is about. Topics range from cell-phone use in restaurants to addressing—what else?—royalty. “I’m just tired of people behaving badly and seeing people treated badly,” she explained.
