I bought this book for 50 cents at my library sale and decided to give it a go. I can't believe that I actually read it in full because it was cringing, although quite witty and well-written in parts. Possibly that's what kept me going , thinking that the protagonists would eventually wake up to the real world, or realise that not everyone cares about Pucci or Versace. It is possible that it was meant to be a satire of the vapid NY socialite scene, but sadly it doesn't come across as such, and no doubt that many readers will read it the way they read Hello! or New Idea. Plenty of much better chick-lit out there, don't bother with that one... ( )

Ich bin krank und überarbeitet und dachte, da könne so ein Chick-Lit-Buch ganz gut sein, wie "Sex and the City" zum Lesen.
Und so ist es auch. Im Mittelpunkt steht Sylvie, die als einzige ihrer Freundinnen verheiratet ist (und das glücklich), die anderen sind frisch geschieden und auf der Suche nach Affären. Ansonsten geht es um Klamotten, Feiern und Reisen, alles sehr überkandidelt und schrill. So richtig konnte ich nicht warm werden mit den Damen. ( )

This book for me was kind of hard to get into at first but after awhile I fell in love with some of the characters. ( )

Loved it! Total fluff, but utterly engaging and enjoyable. ( )

I didn't get the point of this book..... I really tried to like it, and I kept reading until it was painful, but the book was not funny, the characters were shallow, and I just couldn't relate.

Let's see: there is this gal who's in some ubër-expensive Mexican resort on her honeymoon, however, her husband has left her @ the airport on business. She meets up with these two young empty-headed, glob-trotting, super-rich, divorced women. They spend their time talking about the things I imagine super-rich globe-trotting women do, drinking alcohol filled tropical libations, lounge around sunning, gossiping, cruising on the water & wearing marvelously expensive designer clothing.....and talking about their marriages/divorces.

I didn't like the characters, I didn't feel any thing in common with them, I didn't empathize with them....empty women with too much time & money on their hands......

I missed out completely.......
