Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell
2.0
Meh.
I loved this show when it was on for a season (or 2?). I liked the characters and i liked the flow. The book, however, was underwhelming.
I didn't care about any of the characters and i found them all pretty shallow. I did occasionally find myself rooting for Wendy, but also struggled because i found her to be kind of stupid.
Several reviews of the book mentioned how it's a book for feminists, so i was even more excited to read it. I don't know where the feminism played in though - when they were talking about their annual income? When they were cheating on their husbands? Conspiring to have people fired so they can take their jobs? Or staying with a billionaire that was not all that nice to them and they did not seem all that into? I don't get it. Besides being rich women, i did not find them in any way inspiring and actually, I'm happy that my life does not resemble theirs in any way.
maybe my expectations were too high.
