No PC? Read books!
At last, I finished the book. I liked it, but it was a bit of a drag. I definitely liked Lipstick Jungle better. By this time though, having read LJ and 4 Blondes, the characters in the book were quite familiar (and I mean that in a positive way).
To this time, I find it difficult to imagine a real person who is just like Janey, I bet there are many of them though.
Even knowing that Selden ends up in a good relationship with someone else in LJ, I still secretly hoped they would have stayed together. Specially when I thought that Janey was really finally growing up. But I guess she has to find an Ian again, or a Bill.
She does have things in common with Judge Cate, the character from the other novel I read this week - Dirty Blonde.(I picked up the book in my mom's office on Monday afternoon and finished it by Tuesday, with shopping and lots of sleep in between.
I was captivated from the moment I picked it up. It was... stimulating.
Both Janey and Cate knew that they were beautiful and sexy. They had different ways of expressing their sexuality, but they were both called whores by society.
I'm lousy at book reviews. Either I end up telling the whole story, or I assume whomever was reading me has read the book too.
Both were good reads. That's that. I've traveled to New York, Paris, and Philly, through them.
I have a January list over here.
