If I decide to pick it back up, it won't be the audio book version.

I love the characters, I love the angst, the houses...all of them...and the ending. I would love to see more of Jennifer and Suzanne. I also really like the other Kallmaker characters that made it into this book. Now I have to go reread the books these characters are in.

Loved it. Kallmaker shows us how a great author puts together an unforgettable read. Her attention to detail, focus on past and current trends and her ability to give the reader fully formed characters to love or dislike sets her on a level few lesfic authors have achieved and makes her novels a pleasure to read.
Jennifer Lamont wants to move her modelling career to the next level. With enough voice and acting lessons and dogged determination she hopes to break into the acting world. Falling in love with the geeky up and coming tech wizard and out lesbian Suzanne will not help her advance in the industry. If the casting directors find out she is a lesbian she risks her ultimate goal of leaving the runway behind and making a name for herself on the silver screen.
Heartbreaks aside, I was impressed at the skillful way Kallmaker includes issues of the day covering a span of twenty years. The rights of women vs the reality of challenges faced by women in many occupations being recognized as equals. The need for women to work together to break down barriers in the corporate world and the understanding that working together benefits all of us. Kallmaker also takes a hard look at the impact media has on our lives in today's world of instant information and twisted truths.
A great read that is more than just designer labels,runway models and cameo appearances by characters from previous novels.. It’s a story of a woman coming to terms with how decisions born of necessity impact her life.
Full value from one of the best in lesbian fiction today.

Plenty to like and enjoy about this book, in particular the winding path and self awareness of both key characters. I oscillated between wondering why it jumped back and forth a tad but ultimately I think it worked really well to help understand the players in the game.
