Four Blondes, by Candace Bushnell
1.0
Blonde 1:- Janey in Nice N'easy is a spoilt wannabe celebrity who seems to sleep with men just to get a summer holiday in the Hamptons without having to pay for it herself. Wherever she goes there is a trail of broken hearts and marriages. I really hope people aren't like this in the Hamptons.
Blonde 2:- Winnie in Highlights (for adults) I only got half way through this one before I skipped on. Winnie is married to James although why they are together is anyone's guess. Both are selfish, prone to hate each other and I just wanted to bang their heads Together and say talk to each other and pay some attention to your child.
Blonde 3:- Anonymous in Plamtinum. This is told as diary entries with lots of abbreviations, I can't decide if I'm supposed to be able to fill in names from society or if it's just code. This was an annoying format to read as the initials were hard to keep track of and interrupted the story. No idea what it turned out to be about as I got put off by the initials.
Blonde 4:- Single Process. Comparing English to American society this put me off with its unrealistic view of the English that seemed to not apply to any of the population I've met.
I have no idea where I got a copy of this book from but it's not one I'd go out of my way to buy. It took three goes to get pat the first thirty pages and I wish I hadn't bothered. I suspect if you are into minor celebrities and the only way is Essex or real housewives of New Jersey it may appeal, otherwise avoid. It doesn't even seem as well written as the few episodes of sex and the city I have watched yet it's from the same source.
