Started this book years ago and couldn't get through it. Just tried to read it again (maybe because in the meantime, I loved the TV version) but I still couldn't get into it. Disappointing.

I don't typically try to be rude when it comes to reviews because I know time and effort went into writing it.
However, this book was just awful. I had watched the series and thought that was decent enough to read the book. Boy, was I wrong. It had such a poor underlying message that I just couldn't ignore it. it's one thing to try and let women know that we can be just as successful as men but it's entirely another to just keep repeating it over and over again in this book.
And the ending was very lackluster. I apologize if you felt this was a great book but this is just my thoughts.

"Every woman knows you need to combine two men to make one decent one."

The book was OK, but I love the TV show. Sad. I know!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the show is FAR superior. Definitely Ms. Bushnell's worst book.

Approaching middle age, Nico, Wendy, and Victory are soul sisters navigating high profile jobs in Manhattan. They work hard in the world of men, striving for fame, glory, fortune, and happiness. One has an affair with a young underwear model; one overcomes letdown when her fashion line flops. Challenges abound. Yet their love for each other and New York never wavers. This writer is outstanding.

Seriously, one of the most boring books I've EVER read. Don't know why I bothered making myself read to the end. A vain hope it'd get better I suppose. Anything important or possibly exciting was simply skipped and referred back to later!

Written by the Sexy and the City author Candace Bushnell, this reads like a SATC season maybe ten years into their future, or if the SATC girls were more mature. It could also be a version of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants if there were 3 girls instead of 4 and no pants were involved. Bushnell does a good job of keeping you invested in each character, although sometimes the transitions aren't as flawless as I'd like and it's difficult to get back into the character and remember their story. A good summer/beach read although it will definitely take you a few trips to the beach to finish this one.
