The book's about four different women from a former "It-girl" who looks for a man who'll provide her with a house in the Hamptons every summer to a writer who goes to London on a hunt for love and a good magazine story.
Four Blondes is really refreshing, and it's really different from anything I've ever read before. You could tell that Candace Bushnell knows what she's talking about, and you never miss a single detail about the setting. You might dismiss it as a light read, but it has a dark tone to it, one that questions personal motives and ideas. One critic described it perfectly as Jane Austen with a martini.
Even though the characters lead totally different lives from me, I could still relate to what they were going through. I think all women could. Don't we all get that feeling of being lost, not knowing where we're going, not knowing what we're gonna do with out lives?
Anyway, if you're looking for a book that's going to make you laugh and feel good about yourself, go look somewhere else.
