"Sex and the City" Meets Sin City
What a fun book! Definitely a small departure for Gemma, as this isn't a romantic mystery, but all of her hallmarks are here: wonderful writing, snapping dialogue, and hilarious observations. Gemma brings together four wildly different story lines in a very fun and thoughtful novel. Like the other reviewer mentioned, I was sorry to see this one end.
Viva Las Vunderful
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.The characters seemed like real people and I was sorry when the book was over.I am a great fan of the high heel series and I am more pleased with this author than ever.Read everything she writes.Gemma Halliday rocks!!!!
This is NOT a good book
This really seems like four short stories that are connected.All the stories are told in the first-person point of view (I) and ALL of the characters sound exactly alike, even the male.I couldn't tell whose story I was reading because the voices were the same.
Let me make this clear:I loved the HIGH HEEL series.I've read and enjoyed all of them.Ms. Halliday is a terrific writer with wonderful humor--on those books.
And the characters were so awful.They were either drunk or hung over most of the time.Ella is caught in a bad marriage and has no idea what's going on.Nor(SPOILER ALERT) does she seem to realize her spending all night out partying with her friends could be a problem.Kit is supposed to have "IT" but she's in love with a married jerk and takes revenge by destroying him--very immature considering he didn't FORCE her to sleep with him nor did he promise to be faithful.We're supposed to admire her heroic stand--but it came over as petty and self-centered.Mary has a dead end job and is constantly looking for someone to fix her.She does have an epiphany at the end, the only good thought these women possessed.David was the only character I liked and he wimped out on his boyfriend.All in all, NOT a bunch of people I enjoy reading about, immature drunks, at least all the ladies.
This is very short.The last 10% is filled with excerpts from other books.
Save your money.You won't be able to finish this even at the short length.
