Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-14 00:00:00 HYKEEM JOHNSON Julia Pearce is a salesgirl in a Manhattan jewelery store who is plucked from obscurity by the socialite whose father owns the jewelers. Lell Pelham is the ultimate it girl. She and her trust funded girlfriends decide to make Julia one of their group. She gets a big promotion and suddenly is jet setting with the creme de la creme of New York society. All this is complicated when Lell's husband falls for Julia. This is the worst kind of chick lit... unbelievable and predictable at every turn. Every single aspect of this story stretched credibility, and stretched it so far that it wasn't even fun to read. And there's all the usual cliches: the gay best friend, the quiet but perfect guy that the heroine overlooks. I could not stop rolling my eyes as I read. In short: not a good book.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-19 00:00:00 Philp Scolieri This book was actually on my list and I found it on the recently returned shelf. Yay! I love it when that happens. Otherwise, this is your typical New York upper-class story where the girls have nothing else to do, but claim lower class girls who have potential but no money to mould them into what they want. Two rich friends are always competing with each other because they don't have much else to do with their lives. Girl #1's family owns a Tiffany-type jewellery store and since she got married, now works there. She pulls lower class girl with potential who works on the sales floor up to the offices as her assistant. Girl #2 sees this happening and since she has nothing to do with her day, tries to claim the girl and re-do her. While the two rich girls have excuses for their behaviours (sort of) the lower class girl is just kind of stupid when it comes to what she does with her life and the boys in it. You could spot a mile away who she was going to end up and I'm sorry, but making out with your boss's new husband, you are just asking for trouble. An ass like that, what do you think he is going to follow? The crush or the money? Like duh! Gay bestie alert! But not as an important character as I would have liked. This book actually took me longer to read then I would have thought. Grade: C
