Wolves in Chic Clothing

The summary / plot line has a lot of potential but overall I was disappointed. The characters are all very two-dimensional and little growth or progression is made at all. It could have been a 'Devil Wears Prada' but instead... It's just a snip-out in the lives of some very self-centered, wealthy brats.

Filled with every chic-lit cliche! Main character: Wholesome girl who doesn't realize how drop-dead gorgeous she is moves to the Big City; quickly gets 'noticed' by her boss, gets a huge unrealistic promotion which allows her to design jewellery, her dream career; she has upstanding morals about relationships yet loves the 'wild' married guy and doesn't notice the great 'good' single guy (rich and good-hearted) standing right in front of her (who is also a cliche); both are caught up with a superficial, materialistic rich crowd but don't really belong; both do 'real' volunteer/charity work, not just the benefit galas like their rich friends.
Actually, it's not much different from that movie with Jennifer Aniston, Jay Mohr and Kevin show more Bacon.
Predictable climax and ending fit right in there with all the other cliches.
Not worth the time of a discernable reader. show less

This book was a very fast read but it felt like it was written in a very juvenile way. It was an enjoyable book, but the writing was very sub-par.

Over the top tale of shallow women living the very high life in NYC. But the worst part is the very last line of the book. Stolen right out of Sense and Sensibility. I don't recommend the book, but if you are a Janeite, you'll enjoy reding the last line while browsing. This was definitely a no brainer book. I don't know why it took TWO women to write it.

Fairly simple plots and characters. Comparisons with The Devil Wears Prada could be easily found. A young woman from the mid-west is trying to follow her dreams in jewelry design and is working for a famous jewelry store. She falls into a cushy job with one of the senior execs and is off on a whirlwind of New York glitterati. But all is not as it seems as easily as these people can take her into their high style life they can just as easily shun her.

This book wasn't too bad but it was very predictable. It was a quick read to change the pace of what I usually read so if you want to read about some cold hearted bitches then pick it up.

Entertaining view into the sometimes cruel world of women in a big city striving for...what? That's what they each need to determine.
