Trading Up


By Candance Bushnell. The author of Sex and the City writes about the struggles of a aging Victoria's Secret modey Janey Wilcox and her problems in life. For a book about a model, this book just keeps going on and on and on. Rambles on for more than 500 pages. I would have given it up halfway if i had not been a crazy fan of SATC. I believed sincerely that an excellent series like that based on the book, the author must be exceptional. But Trading up was a disappointment. The heroine is a cold hearted scheming woman who forges relationships only to get ahead in the socialite circle.

The ending is also half baked with us wondering why we subjected ourselves to 500 pages of torture to be left in the lurch this way.

Even though this book was a disappointment, I have become brave and decided to try "Lipstick Jungle".
