This plum has no flavor
Any comparison between Plum Sykes and Candace Bushnell is offensive to the latter. Bushnell has created memorable characters (Carrie Bradshaw and Janie Wilcox, for example) and writes about New York society with a knowledge, sense of humor and irony that have been rarely seen since Tom Wolfe wrote "The Bonfire of Vanities."What Plum Sykes does, on the other hand, is name-drop: brands (and more brands - is she getting a commission?) clubs, restaurants, etc. Her main character, Moi, is as one-dimensional as a cardboard figure - and about as interesting. Julie Bergdorf is not much better.I forced myself to finish this book because I refused to believe that a best seller could be total and absolute garbage. I kept on thinking that at some point this book just HAD to get better. I was wrong. What a waste of time, money and brain cells. Do yourself a favor: stay away from the Bergdorf Morons.
