Absolutely delicious. ( )

I don't even have a shelf for this because I refused to put it in with the "bon bons" which are things you actually like. I hated it. The characters are mean and nasty almost across the board. The ones that aren't, are wimpy and annoying. The ending is a real "gotcha" like all those movies or books that solve everything with "..it was really a dream." This book ends with a nightmare and no promise of redemption. I can only surmise that the author hates (or condescends to) her audience. I will not read another in this series because I am not a masochist. I must say, I do love the covers though. What's a cover without a book? ( )

Brutal but sweet love, jealousy and gruel fate. It's the three major things in this books. I loved it and I hated it. I still have a hard time to understand all that happened in this book. And I can't do anything but to read the next book because this series totally have me in its claws. ( )

Actually, I'd give this one a 3.5. it actually finished the first book. So this "installment", the 2nd half of the first installment.... and yes, my concerns for the first one flow through this one as well. ( )

I think I actually enjoyed the sequel to this book more than the first one.

The characters were more developed and it became more interesting as the plot progressed. Once again, Godbersen does a really nice job of creating the old-style New York atmosphere. She writes it well and manages to make fun of it without being too pretentious.

It looks like a thick book but I read it really easily. I didn't, however, go on to read the third or even fourth book in the series. I would be curious to see what happens so I might pick up the next few books, if I want something really light to read.

If you like glamorous, tongue-in-cheek sort of books, give this one a read. c: ( )
