Title: meh...
Product review: You know, I'm all for the occassional fun, easy read where you need not think much. And in that area, this book does a decent job. I will say, some of it just comes off as entirely unbelievable and not all that clever. But I'm willing to overlook that and the fact that this Sex & The City knock-off didn't even have four original careers for the characters. My major grievance with it is the ceaseless product placement. There are so many better ways of describing a pair of shoes, a suit, or a wrist watch than the brand name. All that name dropping as an alternative to actual description is just lazy writing. If no one has told John Jeffrey this, someone ought to. I considered counting each mention of a designer, but even at ~200 pages, that's just too much work in this case. I'd be more upset about paying for the book if I hadn't gotten it half price at a used book store.
