Bushnell's third novel, “Trading Up” (2003) is a wickedly funny social satire about a lingerie model whose reach exceeds her grasp and whose new-found success has gone to her head. The book takes place in the months leading up to 9/11, and portrays a wearily decadent society. This sharply observant, keenly funny comedy of manners is Bushnell at her most sassy and entertaining.
