A review by tagreads
Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell
4.0
The story is about the lives of three women in their early forties that are hugely successful in their professional lives: Wendy Healy president of Paradore Pictures, Nico O’Neilly editor-in-chief of Bonfire Magazine, and Victory Ford fashion designer. The trio of friends is listed among New York’s 50 Most Powerful Women.
Nico is married to Seymour with whom she has a lovely teenage daughter. However, things change when Nico meets Kirby Atwood, the gorgeous underwear model, with whom she shares a fling which causes her to live in the fear that the private affair will turn into a public scandal.
Wendy is busy trying to keep her life together between her career and her 3 kids and husband Shane. Shane has been unemployed for quite some time now and problems start to arise between them resulting in Shane quickly asking Wendy for a divorce.
Victory is devastated from the failure of her latest spring collection. Soon, she meets billionaire Lynne Bennet in front of whom she tries to remain independent and self-assured.
Definitely a page-turner with an emphasis on female friendship and career ambition. The novel was turned into a television series (of which I was a fan) however the series was cancelled after its second season. If you have seen the series, you will quickly notice the difference in the characters when you start reading this book turning the story in different directions.
