New Release
The Gilded Age: Unbuttoned
The Gilden Age: Unbuttoned isn’t your grandmother’s historical drama—it’s a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud parody of wealth, scandal, and social climbing in 1890s New York.
Inside these pages, the Van Whines, the Gristles, the Brokes, and the infamously sharp-tongued Leggy Snot scheme, seduce, and backstab their way through ballrooms and back alleys.
No corset is safe. No fortune untouchable. No reputation untarnished. In this world, secrets spill faster than champagne, egos collapse harder than crumbling mansions, and dignity never survives the guest list.
If you adore The Gilded Age, swoon for Bridgerton, or live for stories where high society behaves very, very badly—this is the series that will make you spit out your tea and pray you’re never invited to the disaster of the season.
Decadent. Scandalous. Hilarious.
Welcome to The Gilden Age: Unbuttoned—where the rich are never refined, only ridiculous.
“I found this book hilarious!! It is a quick read, and from conscription day to the gauntlet & past, I was LOLing in most parts. The signets were hilarious!”

Praise & Reviews
“After the last few weeks of dark romance and trigger warnings, I wanted to read something lighthearted. I haven’t laugh out loud during a reading session in forever.”
Goodreads
“I had high hopes for this parody, and it did not disappoint. It was very funny, with many absurd scenes and hilarious banter.”

About Reid Mockery
Reid Mockery is known as the Scary Movie of Books. She shot to fame in 2009 as one of Amazon’s top-selling parody authors, delighting readers with razor-sharp spoofs of mega-hits like Fifty Shades of Grey, Divergent, and The Fault in Our Stars. With her fast-paced, affordable, and hilariously addictive reads, Reid built a loyal fanbase who know they can count on her for a good laugh—and a well-aimed jab at pop culture. Now she’s back with her most outrageous parodies yet, taking on Where the Crawdads Sing, The Housemaid, and Fourth Wing with the same fearless wit that made her a household name (for those in households that appreciate snark). It takes a rare kind of genius to be this funny, and Reid Mockery delivers every time. Her writing is like poetry—if poetry were actually entertaining. Living anonymously in Tennessee, Reid continues to hunt down the next bestselling genre in need of a good roast. She’s penned other works under various names, but is best known for her biting, bestselling parodies that dare to mock the books everyone else takes too seriously.
