 Rating:  - Too Superficial!From the author of The Devil wears Prada, this book does not seem to make it. It never takes off but rather superficially presents a story. One cannot identify with the characters but if you are looking for a fun superficial story, this might interest you. Rating: - A Book on the FenceBette, an overworked piss-ant in the banking industry up and quits one day on a spur-of-the-moment whim. Not really knowing what she's going to do with herself, and after a few months of blissful unemployment the whole paying-rent issue rears its ugly head.

Don't take this book as a piece of classic literature. Enjoy it for what it is and have fun! Rating: - Blah, blah, Gucci, blah, bleh...I need an advil.I tried to like this book, but it was awful & disappointing and the author disappointed me as well. I just listened to the audio version from the library & heard it at work, so thankfully no money was spent. I should have known from the start where the story would end up.I willingly kept on listening, hoping that somehow it should get better, but I couldn't even make it to the end! It's basically the same "Devil Wears Prada" story with different names for the characters. There was no substance, no life ... Read More |
