Helpful Score: 1

I think this is what some reviewers would call a "romp." It's engrossing enough, but it's intended to be glossy and a tad on the superficial side. Not the book for you if you want manly intrigue. But if you don't mind reading descriptions of every NY restaurant the characters are in and what they wore there, you'll be entertained. The characters are well-drawn. The author is a magazine editor in Manhattan and she certainly knows the underbelly of that world. I suspect some of her acquaintances will be afraid to open this book -- and they should be. Highly recommended for beach reading; not highly recommended if you're trying to impress someone who sees what you're reading.
