Title: Did not live up to the hype
Review: i had heard of this book through magazine reviews and while i have read similar books (shopaholic series- quite funny), i was very disappointed. I certainly didn't think it warranted the 300+ pages that it was (<200pgs more appropriate i think) and i felt the author was was too descript on fashion items and not enough on the story. I kept reading the book in anticipation something exciting/unpredictable would happen (it never) and finished it thinking that as i don't work in fashion, maybe there were a few fashion in-jokes that I didn't get (giving it the benefit of the doubt). In all i agree with other reviewers that it's a beach read, but the length of it makes it too long to recommend it(who reads 300+ pgs at the beach, if you do i hope you wear sunscreen!). Read this book only if you have a LOT of time (which i have at the moment), not to satify curiousity (as i did) because you will end up disappinted.
Is the review positive or negative?
