I hated this book. It didn't make any sense, and it made me break my rule of getting rid of a book before I finish it. It had moments of absolute vulgarity that I, a person who can handle a lot of discussion about nether-regions, just couldn't read. The rest was just completely boring and nonsensical.

I was truely disappointed in this book considering how much I love Sex and the City. But this one was written so foul and I didn't like a single character.

I was only truly interested in one of the girls story lines.

all i have to say is...
candace bushnell might be an ok 'storyteller', but her writing ain't so hot.
i still love sex and the city though (the television series, that is).

Sex and the City with all blonde characters in the Hamptons. I heard audio of Candace Bushnell reading this on salon; it sounded to me like she needed to lay off the coke. Good beach read...

I am a big fan of the 'Sex and the City' TV series and I want to like this novel because of the author, but I struggled to engage. This was mainly due to the massive cultural differences, the woman in this book come from a social sphere I can't even imagine, and I'm not even sure I'd like to visit. I also didn't find any endearing traits in any of the characters and couldn't find any emotional connection to them, some of them are down-right b****s. While I recognise that the characters and setting is true to the New York scene that Bushnell is trying to paint it wasn't one I was able to appreciate as fully as perhaps it deserved.

First off, the cover promised a good dose of chick lit and the synopsis wasn't bad either. But then the trouble started; usually my choice in books isn't so bad and a book by the renowned author of 'Sex and the City' seemed too good to pass. Too bad it was a trashy book.
It will eventually find it way to trash 'cause it is too bad of a book to give it to someone even as a charity read. I wouldn't dare put anyone else through the same torture I went through. It is indeed a miracle that I finished reading it!
Anyhow, the story was about (you guessed it) four ladies who were either trying hard to catch a mate for a summer in Hamptons or trying hard to adjust with a low turnout in expectations from her husband.
It is a purely desperate book and well, the only good thing that came out of was probably that it left me feeling lucky enough not to be a blonde! No pun intended.
