Please note: I have never watched the series or the movie. I was expecting chick lit. It's not chick lit... It's so much darker and cynical than I expected. Sure, it's New York, but I found no silver-lining. I stopped reading it about halfway through book because I just couldn't plow through it anymore, and life is too short for crappy books. It's extremely egotistical, empty and depressing. To me, anyway. I'm sure some will see it as empowering, but to me, it's all sex and money with no substance.
