Got super excited to read this since I love Sex in the City, but was very dissapointed. Couldn't muddle through more than the first few chapters. Devestatingly boring.

I did not love this book. I was expecting a fun romp similar to SATC. Istead I found a narcissistic character who was only interested in herself. If Ms. Bushnell had given the main character one likable charachteristic, it would have been a much easier read and a more enjoyable trip!

Candace Bushnell is the author of Four Blondes, one of my favorite books, and Sex and the City (for which the show was based). This is a fun book if you're a fan of any of her other work, and just if you're curious about the lifestyles of the rich and sometimes famous.

This is a book in the writing style of "Sex and the City"- a very New York girl and her life as a wife and ultimately, a star.

This was an insightful glance into the chaotic, dramatic lives of America's wealthy.

I enjoyed this book because it gave me a view of society I am unfamiliar with and I would recommend it to people who like a little romance as well as satire about the rich. I feel LiKE Bushnell is giving us a humorous, tongue in cheek view of high society and its many pitfalls.

Interesting story. Kind of slow in spots. A bit unrealistic. Nevertheless, enjoyable.

Not what I expected (in a positive way) Took a fairly predictable plot and added much more background to it. This is the first book I have read by this author. Enjoyable.

This is the author that wrote Sex In The City.
Although this story isn't as good as SITC, it is still an amusing listen.
