Format:Paperback
More Jackie Collins that SATC, this book transports you to a world of power, sex, designer clothes and hot hot men, with the three ladies concerned (Wendy, Nico and Victory) living top notch lives in NY. Im not ashamed to say, I really enjoyed this. Its pacy, sexy and racy, everything you would expect from the co-writer of the award winning SATC. But dont expect to see any Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda characters. These ladies are feistier, louder, and power hungry and whilst I didnt sympathise or connect with any of them, I could help but admire them. Sip a Cosmo, slip of your Blahnik rip offs from Primark, and fantasise that you too could be a hot fashion designer, president of a movie house or editor of a monthly glossy mag... I did!

I actually loved this book. I hadn't read any Candace Bushnell books before, but loved SATC, so I was optimistic about the book. I was not disappointed. The characters were all different but all likeable in their own way, and the book kept me turning the pages all the way through to find out what would happen in the end. I could relate to a lot of what was going on and disagree that the characters behaved in a way that you couldn't understand.
If you're after an intellectually challenging read then this isn't the book for you but if you're after a bit of fun to escape to for a few days, then I would definitely recommend this!

Unlike many Bushnell fans, I could not get in to SATC, no matter how much I'm devoted to the series, but LJ was so easy-going and interesting that I was won over.
The characters are absolutely relatable, and even though the plotline and lives of these characters may not be largely realistic at times, they are still somehow empowering to female readers, to see life from the perspective of powerful, successful New York women.
I got through chapters and chapters without realising, when usually I'm waiting for a set certain page to finish on.
Buy it. Read it. Love it. It's fabulous.

Highly enjoybable
Surprised at the negative reviews, I thought this was a highly enjoyable book and my own complaint was there was no big ending or suprise, it just kind of petered out in the end. Read more

Don't bother
The best thing about this book is that it's not the 'classic' chick lit. It's women with brains and their own independance. Read more

Pile of c+*p
Do not waste your time or money. This book is badly written, the characters are contrived and unbelievable. The plot is abysmal. Read more

An easy, fun read
I actually quite liked this book. It's not profound or intellectual literature but I didn't expect that. I expected a good fun read that entertained for a day or two. Read more

Disappointing through and through!
The best this book can be described as is average. I automatically assumed - like I'm sure every other reader that it would be quick, witty, sharp and lots lots more. Read more

No sex and the city
I bought this book after reading a review, which billed this as chick lit, but on a different level. I was so disappointed. Read more
