Safe to say Pippa Middleton hasn't exactly been celebrating her book sales.

So it should come as no surprise the sister to the Duchess of Cambridge has parted ways with her book agent after her party-planning guide, Celebrate, drew harsh reviews from critics, inspired a parody Twitter account and failed miserably at becoming a best-seller.

"I am very sorry it has happened, but yes, it is true: I no longer represent Pippa," her former agent David Godwin reportedly told newspapers last night. "I wish her every good luck."

Pippa recently addressed the literary criticism claiming her party-planning advice is glaringly obvious, making light of the parody Twitter account @pippatips, while defending her choice to "cover the basics." 

But the royal in-law isn't giving up on her authoring efforts. She's set to pen a column for Waitrose Kitchen magazine titled "Pippa's Friday Night Feasts" in April. 

Luckily, the brunette beauty has a sexy new beau to take her mind off the bad business.
