    About this audiobook

    Read by Cynthia Nixon!
    Here is the collection of columns that inspired the addictive and multiple award-winning HBO series! SEX AND THE CITY offers a tantalizing glimpse of the openings, launch parties, and celebrity affairs that keep society amused. Throughout, a cast of characters-the troubled writer, the successful businessman, the famous underwear model, and others-searches for true love...or at least someone to go home with at the end of the night. It's a chronicle of the true-life adventures of the "in" crowd that is often hilarious and sometimes terrifying, but always mesmerizing.

      This is typical Bushnell writing. I love her chick lit
    • 3/5
      I bought this because I love Sex and the City. However, this book is just not as good. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting it to be. It just was very 'blah' to me. I finished it nonetheless and it is a good summer or beach read.
    • 5/5
      If you like Sex and the City then you'll love this book about four different blonde women. It is absolutely hilarious and I consider it one of my "guilty pleasure" books. It's definitely a "beach read" and very entertaining.
    • 3/5
      A fun girly book. Not the best of the best as far as that catagory goes, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Some of the stories were better than others.
    • 2/5
      The story of four blonde woman scraping and clawing their way into a life of decadence. Sex, pills, decadence culture, etc.
    • 4/5
      Four stories about four different beautiful blonde women. Their lives are very messed up but at least they're rich which is the most important thing to them anyway. They are shallow people but it was fun to read about them.
    • 1/5
      This was so bad that I couldn't even finish it!
    • 3/5
      Crude and not very convincing characters
    • 5/5
      After seeing the series on tv, it was fun to see where some of the story lines originated. And the additional treat was having Cynthia Nixon as the reader. She was the perfect choice.
    • 1/5
      disappointing and boring

      This is a collection of four unrelated short stories- unrelated in the sense that none of the characters are the same, although I suppose they are all blondes. I only made it through the first two, because this book was definitely not was I was expecting from the author of Sex and the City (which, I confess, I have not read but come on, she's had two books made into TV shows, they can't be that bad!). It was not funny and portrayed the women as shallow and stupid, which I definitely didn't like. So I don't recommend this book at all.
    • 2/5
      Four stories about fairly unlikable, unsympathetic women and their lives. We follow their angst until they finally get to their "over the rainbow." I'm sorry, I just didn't get in to this one.

      This book contains 4 stories. I started with the first and hoped it would get better. To my surprise the stories were all separate not linked and when I started to read story 2 I realized how awful this book is. Very badly written. No point whatsoever. Waste of time.

      I absolutely hated this book -- it was horrible. It was so bad that I couldn't even finish it -- no, I take that back, I didn't want to finish it. I hated it because the stories of these 4 women (each with their own chapter/part) because it defined the worst kind of woman -- street-walkers who wanted it all; demanding wives that drove their husbands to cheat on them with their sisters -- I mean 'Come on!' (Sorry Candace, I expected better since you did create Sex and the City)

      I did not enjoy this book at all. The book is composed of four different stories about four different women who live in New York. Possibly because I had a hard time relating to all of the women, I kept having to force myself to read it so I could finish it and move on to another book.I didn't find any of the characters likable, the plot lines were uneventful, and, both elements usually just annoyed me. The last of the four stories was an exception in that I actually liked the main character and found the storyline amusing. However, it was also the shortest.

      I expected Sex in the City or Bergdorf Blondes. This was a disappointment the wry humour and ridiculousness I wanted was missing.The best chick lit, or New York fashionista novels have a sense of their own silliness throughout the storyline. This novel, unfortunately wasn't even funny. A disappointment.

      Pretty much the same review as the others on this one. Loved Sex in the City, but this book, blah.

    • 3/5
      When I first picked up this book, I didn't realize that it was really four novellas. The stories are snap shots into four women's lives: the good, bad, and ugly. It should how some where connected through friends or acquaintances and also how just because it seems you should have the perfect life, doesn’t mean you do. While different from Bushnell’s other books, it was good and a very enjoyable read.
    • 3/5
      A collection of four loosely linked stories featuring, as the title pronounces, four blondes. The blondes in question are Janey Wilcox (‘Nice ‘n Easy’), a model who isn’t famous enough to call her own shots so she spends most of her time looking for a rich man to take her to the Hamptons every summer; Winnie (‘Highlights’), a brainy columnist who has begun to hate her journalist husband for not being successful enough; Cecilia, (‘Platinum’) a model who marries a European prince and is terrified he’s going to leave her; and lastly, an unnamed blonde journalist (‘Single Process’) who trolls London looking for a man because she’s positive that English men have got to be better than American ones. It’s the ultimate in satire as well as a disturbing look into the many people who really do live such vapid, meaningless, extremely superficial existences, but who are at least sensible enough to be aware of and frightened by their own lack of substance. Bushnell is also the author of Sex and the City, but don’t let that turn you off (as it did me, initially). I haven’t read the book SatC, but after reading this I’d be willing to bet that the few bits I’ve seen of the t.v. show don’t even begin to do the book justice, because Bushnell is absolutely brilliant, scathing and right on the mark when pegging these desperate, pathetic, yet somehow occasionally likeable women. Strange as it may sound, her writing style immediately put me in mind of Bret Easton Ellis, particularly Rules of Attraction and Less Than Zero. Bushnell’s wit and timing is razor-sharp, and I was very pleasantly surprised.
