I tried to push through until the end but I couldn't do it. This book assaulted my brain.

Really, one of the strangest chick lit books I have ever read. Not really even sure what happened.

I found this book very..... blugh...the only part I enjoyed was about Janey Wilcox... I didn't care for the married couple who was written about in 3rd person... the girl with the hamptons drama needed to get a freaking life of her own....and Princess Cecil...really just pathetic... I would only recommend reading the first part of this book at that is it!

I read this a long time ago. I don't remember a thing, not even a character. I do remember it was light and boring but nothing sticks out as memorable.

What was I thinking? Too much time on my hands at the TCNJ Bookstore, that's what.

So I read this book with no expectations, one way or another. And then I came on here and was shocked to see every review was so horrible. The problem with Candace Bushnell is that everyone expects her to be fluffy chick lit because Sex and the City is the epitome of chick TV (and don't get me wrong, I love the show). Even the cover design of this book just makes it look like a beach read. But when I read Sex and the City (the book) I realized that's not the kind of writer Candace Bushnell is. When I first tried to read Sex and the City, I hated it because I compared it to the show and stopped after reading 20 pages. I, too, expected her books to be a certain way because of the show. When I picked it up a second time, I stopped comparing it and learned to love Bushnell's writing. She's smart, edgy, controversial. I love writers that take risks and write about things in a way I don't expect.

That being said, I liked Four Blondes, but it did have problems. Every time I would start to care about the character, it would switch to another one with no resolution. By the end of the book, I was frustrated. There would be enough pages to get me to be intrigued by a character, and then I'd turn the page and it'd be onto the next blonde, out of nowhere. So, it gets three stars, because I really love Bushnell's writing, but was disappointed by this book as a whole.

I marked this book as read, but I only got about halfway through it. It was awful. Very disappointed. Thought it would at least be funny.

This is your typical chick-lit book. It echoes greatly of Bushnell's Sex and the City characters, with lots of man-drama and the push for success. Written from the perspective of 4 different women, with a good sense of humor. Not best seller material, but good if you're looking for something light and entertaining.

Couldn't even make it through the first few pages. Kept picking it up, reading a few paragraphs and thinking 'ugh!' and putting it back down.

Terrible. Don't bother.
