Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell

3.0

Finally, Bushnell has come into her own. For reasons I could not previously comprehend, her past three books sucked so, so badly. And yet were bestsellers. However, this particular book is fantastic, telling the stories of three high-powered executive-type women in today's New York - one, a fashion designer, one, a movie executive, and one, a magazine editor-in-chief. They go through quite a lot, with jobs and relationships, and it works out well. I like them all, which is saying a lot, seeing as the characters in the other three were either uninteresting or horrifyingly awful. The one problem I found is that, occasionally, with no particular order or reason, there will be a sort of flashback scene, and it's difficult to tell when it starts, when it ends, and why it's there. It's easily bypassed, though, when you do see where she's going, and how things turn out.
