This is supposed to be a series of interlocking stories about four young women, but I never felt like I got to know any of them well enough to really distinguish between them. (The exception to that is a peripheral character who has cancer, and that's really all we know about her.) I also found that it often wasn't clear at the start of a new story whose perspective it was from, which bugged me, especially because you never really got to know any of them well enough to be able to tell. I was really hoping for more from this but it just didn't go deep enough with the characters. If you really enjoy stories of people making bad romantic decisions in NYC, you might enjoy this anyway, especially if you just come at it from a perspective of "the anonymity of the city." So if that's appealing, I'd give it a try. Otherwise, don't.
