Ahh, classic, NY chick-lit. It doesn't get any trashier then this. This book had way too many charecters and the only thing that really connected them all was the building they lived in. It was really about two different families with like an assortment of other characters thrown in. Family #1 contained this simi-newly married couple and the Girl came from no where and wanted so much to fit in to high society that she did what everyone considered really stupid things and then just talked behind

This book satisfied my voyeuristic cravings up to the point where I had more than enough and started to feel nauseated, figuratively speaking. I read this book on a 12 hour plane ride because I did not have anything else to read. I finished almost 3/4 of the book and planned to finish the rest once I get over my jetlag.

How I Came To Read This Book: I bought it the same day I bought 'Wolves in Chic Clothing'
The Plot: Everyone in NYC wants to live at the 'right address' - in this case, an upscale ritzy apartment block in a primo location. Melanie Korn nee Sartomsky has found herself in the lion's den when she marries funeral home tycoon Arthur Korn and is trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to fit into the creme de la creme of the Upper East Side. The book also peeks into the windows of other residents of More...

Just the ticket - I like my books on CD to be short and sweet or I lose the plot (I only listen while stuck in Los Angeles traffic). This was frothy fun in four quick CD's. The best aspect for me was the narrator, Barbara Rosenblat, who I know from all the Goldy Schultz mysteries. I grew tired of the Goldy books and her voice, so I was a bit apprehensive about listening to this. She's actually a hoot with the right material, and probably did a good two dozen voices (my favorite was the Hispanic

I finally finished this novel! Although it isn't altogether that long I just found it so hard to get into. The first 100 to 150 pages were just so boring. It was such a bore to get through the first half of the novel, because it detailed society, and I just found what was said was soo boring. But once I was near the 200th page I was so intrigued as to how the book was going to play out :). I recommend this novel if you're stubborn enough to continue reading a book even when it's downright boring

Mindless, enjoyable, guilty-pleasure read... but then again I'm strangely addicted to the Gossip Girl television show. Don't read if expect to be enlightened. On the other hand if you are a.) a chick and b.) someone that can read a book for mindless enjoyment, than go for it.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!

Someone told me this was a good "summer read", which interested me, having recently read 3 very long novels. I hated it. Catty women complain and back-stab page after page. Really brought me down. Had to go for a long walk in the woods and spend time with my loved ones to recover!

I picked up this book hoping for a fun chick lit to kick back with. Instead after 30 pages, I kicked it to the curb (okay not literally). But it felt so superficial and I just couldn't bring myself to keep on reading it.

It was an ARC, it was a quick read and it was kinda enjoyable. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to read it. But it was sitting on my shelf when I had a lull so...

Just finished reading this one. I could not get into the story line. It took me months to read. I read several other books while reading this one.

I listened to this as an audiobook. I enjoyed Bernadette Dunn's interpretations of how the characters' voices sounded. It was easy, enjoyable listen.

Got it as an audiobook for $2 so can't complain. It got a little tiring and irritating to hear the socialites gossip on and on and care so much about things that don't matter & little about what does, but all and all it was ok.

I've read a lot of these New York centered books and this one was pretty cute and not bad...=)

This aspires to be a Dominick Dunne dishing about NY society and it doesn't quite get there, but it wasn't bad for a beach read.

Wasn't sure at first about this NY society book, but it had some surprising twists at the end.

I read this after reading their other title, "Wolves in Chic Clothing." Although WICC was not amazing, it was certainly easier to handle than this one. I generally read a book in one day, maybe two. It took me a week to struggle through this mess. You expect a book about "upper" society to be pretentious but this bordered on ridiculous and obnoxious. I will not be reading the authors again.

Was looking for a "chic-lit" book. I had read Wolves in Chic Clothing by the same author a few years ago and liked it, but this book was hard to get into until the last 50 pages or so. I found the book rather annoying for the most part.

At first I thought this was just going to be a book about rich people complaining about their lives, back-biting each other, and going to chic parties, but it turned out to have some twists.
