With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social satire, Candace Bushnell, who with Sex and the City changed forever how we view New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manolos, now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter day comedy of manners.
Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute.
But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship-and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams.
Now here....here is Candice Bushnell's best writing. It leaps off the page; it's unlike any of her other books and it's simply mesmerizing. Great character development. A must read. ( )
It took everything in my power to finish this book. it was horrible. i havne't read anything else be Bushnell yet but reading this has kinda steered me away from reading anything else by her. ( )
This was an amazing book. No wonder she had her books turned into movies-wow! I was stunned by how great this book was and would definitely recommend it! ( )
