Four novellas follow four women in Manhattan, each a blonde in her own style, living through the city's rituals of dating, status and ambition. Candace Bushnell, creator of Sex and the City, covers an aging model, a socialite, a fashion publicist and a young woman who has just moved to the city, with a satirical eye on a world of parties, magazines and money. Each story is built around a particular kind of fantasy, from marrying well to rising in a career, and shows what it costs.
Readers who enjoyed Bushnell's earlier work, or like gossipy, ironic fiction about New York social life around the turn of the century, will find this familiar territory.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
