An engaging read, but frankly who needs a book about three women who, when earning money and power, act just like men? Affairs, messy divorces, power plays - - it's all there, but in this case, women are pulling all the punches. If you re-named everyone with males names, the story would be more believable. ( )

Victory, Wendy y Nico son tres profesionales de éxito en la ciudad de los rascacielos. A los ojos de los demás, las tres se hallan en el mejo momento de sus vidas. Sin embargo, desde el lugar que ellas ocupan, las cosas no se ven exactamente así.

This was another strongly crafted Bushnell tale starring powerful women who feel just like people I know.

If you've read anything by Bushnell, this won't feel much different stylistically, but the characters were fresh and exciting. The three of them are in different industries--fashion, editing, and movies--but manage to remain friends. Their relationship alone is fascinating, and seeing what they share and don't share and the impressions they try to give each other is entertaining.

The amount of feminism in this book rocked. I loved how typical male-female dynamics were reversed and how the characters were sometimes put into situations that didn't feel at all fair, but came as a result of how society views gender.

Though there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about this book, it was another strong book about New York City socialite life and the interplay between success and happiness. ( )

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the show is FAR superior. Definitely Ms. Bushnell's worst book. ( )

I was very happy to find that this novel is not your typical chick-lit book (and not at all like the Sex and the City novel which I found jarring and strange). Bushnell basically tries to answer the following questions: What happens when women act like stereotypical men? Can they be respected and treated the same way in the workplace? How do high-powered careers affect a woman's relationship with her husband and family?

I am a big fan of the Lipstick Jungle TV series and was interested to see what choices were made in the creation of the series. While the same familiar characters are there (harried Wendy, cool calm Nico, and cute Victory) , they seem a lot more career-focused and more ruthless than their TV show counterparts. The struggles they have with office politics and family duties are shown in more detail and in a much less frivolous way. For example, in the novel Wendy is very overwhelmed with her responsibilities at work and struggles a lot more with achieving a perfect work-family balance than she does in the TV show. Victory, a very successful fashion designer, is older and only a little bit flighty; she shows the scars of a woman who has had to fight for her place in the world. Nico is a lot more cut-throat than in the TV show, necessarily so for her job I think.

The book is not perfect. I am not sure that Candace Bushnell achieves three distinct voices for her three main characters. Occasionally it just seemed like she had one ambitious character who was thrust into three different situations. Also, the ending felt very rushed, as though she realized that her word count was getting out of hand and decided to throw a happy ending together. But all in all, this was definitely a good read, and would probably be better received by those less interested in a fun, romantic romp and more interested in a serious-minded read. ( )
