Sex and the City with all blonde characters in the Hamptons. I heard audio of Candace Bushnell reading this on salon; it sounded to me like she needed to lay off the coke. Good beach read...

I am a big fan of the 'Sex and the City' TV series and I want to like this novel because of the author, but I struggled to engage. This was mainly due to the massive cultural differences, the woman in this book come from a social sphere I can't even imagine, and I'm not even sure I'd like to visit. I also didn't find any endearing traits in any of the characters and couldn't find any emotional connection to them, some of them are down-right b****s. While I recognise that the characters and setting is true to the New York scene that Bushnell is trying to paint it wasn't one I was able to appreciate as fully as perhaps it deserved.

I was hoping this book would be great since its the author of sex and the city, but it was terrible! I felt like the book was all over the place and never connected the 4 stories. I struggled to finish this book and really didn't want to, I guess I should of read everyone else's review on this book before I started because it seems like everyone feels the same way about it.

Ok, this book is written by the same woman who wrote "Sex and the City". Naturally I assumed it would be a fun, energetic read that I would thoroughly enjoy. Especially since the back cover of the book said things like "Hysterical" and such. I was not impressed by this book at all. Ask anyone, I enjoy almost every book I read, but this one didn't do anything for me. It was four stories told separately about four different women. The language was choppy and hard to follow, the characters were one dimmensional, and it was very difficult to become involved in their conflicts. In most of the books I read I find myself sympathizing with the main character and I start hoping that certain things will happen for them. Not the case with this book. I found that the women were bitter, unhappy, angry, rich snobs. I could not relate and did not want to. Some of the books I read have wealthy protagonists, but I feel like I can still relate to them as women. Again, not the case with this book. There was no plot development, no character development, and no story line that I could find. Overall, very disappointed with the book.

The first thought that comes to mind is WTF. I am one of these people when they read a book it needs to have an actual story. This book was so boring, long winded, and I have no idea what I just read. I feel that I just lost a day that could have been spent reading something better.
