Jill Kargman has become the de facto Tom Wolfe-esque chronicler of the wealthiest and most socially elite our country has seen in generations. Her bestselling novels, The Right Address, Wolves in Chic Clothing, Momzillas, and her new release, The Ex-Mrs. Hedgefund are a testament to her own perseverance and hustle that delivered this born and bred New Yorker to a leading role in the crowded beach read genre. She combines her fresh perspective with an unbeatable sense of humor and that is why I’m Obsessed with Jill Kargman.

Had no idea who the guest was before seeing the interview and came over to the site via @garyvee, but have to say the interview was great and the guest was definitely interesting, honest and funny.
Congrats on the show and keep up the great interviews!

Great interview! How do I get Jill to appear on DadZillaTv? I think we went in two different directions regarding adding the “zilla” part to Dads or Moms - but I think it’ll work nonetheless.

LMAO, such a fun interview! I never read any of Jill Kargman books. I must have been under a rock. But, I’m fixing that problem, because I’m going to be ordering a couple of her books. Thanks, Samantha!!!

Super great interview! I fell in love with Jill’s books when I read Wolves in Chic clothing. I could not wait to read The Right Address and finally got the ex mrs. hedgefund. I picked it up on Friday after work and just finished it (Sunday morning). I can’t wait for her next book!
Thanks!

Sam - I’m experiencing the “Samantha Ettus Effect.” After listening to your interview with Jill Kargman, I was so intrigued that I immeadiately read Momzillas (my mom has it now) and The Right Address. Can’t wait to get to B&N tonight for the x-mrs. headfund story. Great job!
