I am so unbelievably tired of reading and hearing about the "problems" of rich people; fiction or nonfiction. This book presents four well-educated, seemingly intelligent, multicultural women. However, with their fabulous wardrobe and desirable residence in the poshest neighborhoods in New York city, they are ALL unfulfilled and quite lonely. What?! So to fill that void, and the time on their hands, they all decide to cheat on their others. Brilliant! These spoiled brats step out on their relationships, instead of confronting the issues, because they can't get what they want. Find a hobby! Volunteer or something because sleeping around is certainly not productive, or safe. Anywhoville, I had high hopes for the book because the author wrote for The Cosby Show and A Different World. And I LOVE those shows. But the storyline of this fell short and the writing became annoying with the author's injections of her own knowledge of "fashion" and "high culture." So what! And to appease the humanitarians like me the author throws in a few pompous "charity" shindigs to flaunt the wealth. When these events only highlighted the girls' outfits and the communities' economical hierarchy. Reading this book was not completely agonizing. I did have a good laugh at the characters' fall and eventually being humbled under their stupidity, oh the joy!

I read this in anticipation of the movie and loved it, then was disappointed by the movie. So dense with motifs and subtext that it will definitely merit repeat reading. Graphics are very secondary to the text, though still pleasant in themselves.

** spoiler alert ** Like others who enjoyed this book, I'm not typically a fan of the thriller genre. This book has a terrific structure and kept me guessing as to how it would end. It was also really creepy, which is not something I usually encounter - a genuinely disturbing book. I could feel Miranda's frustration at simultaneously being under Ferdinand's thumb and running him like a stopwatch. She really flipped him on his head for a while and she almost had him relaxed enough to let down his guard. If she'd only been a bit more patient....

I really liked this book. I liked that each character had a chapter with a bit of backstory and current situation. Also how each character was essentially an "ingredient" in the story.

This book was not great, but it had some great moments. It was like a comic book without the pictures. The characters were almost overwritten. Very characaturish. The story is very dark, but it has some moments of levity. The scenes in the comic book store alone are worth the price of the book. However, since this was a debut novel, I'd say its a good, solid effort. Lots of profanity, though

I read this in the 5th grade, but I remember it quite well because after we finished reading it, we had a mock trial and I got to be T.J.'s lawyer.

I liked her previous book, Too Scared To Cry: Psychic Trauma In Childhood, which is about research into whether children remember traumatic events or just forget and get over them (they remember). This one isn't as good; it's a collection of stories of recovered memory. Some are interesting, others aren't but go on too long. The best one is about the fiction of James Ellroy and how his memories of his mother, who was murdered when he was ten, show up in his fiction.
