Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Sex in the City goes middle-aged, mordant and slapstick in Bushnell's chronicle of writers, actors and Wall Street whizzes clashing at One Fifth Avenue, a Greenwich Village art deco jewel crammed with regal rich, tarty upstarts and misguided lovers. When a Queen of Society dies, a vicious scramble for her penthouse apartment ensues, and it's attorney Annalisa and her hedge-funder husband, Paul Rice, who land the palatial pad, roiling the building's rivalries. There's Billy Litchfield, an art dealer who slobbers over the wealthy; strivers Mindy and James Gooch, and their tech-savvy 13-year-old Sam, the most hilariously bitter (and strangely successful) family in the building; gossip columnist Enid Merle and her screenwriter nephew, Philip Oakland, who struggle to uphold traditions and their souls; actress Schiffer Diamond, who lands a hit TV series, and her old love; and Lola Fabrikant, a cunning Atlanta gold digger whose greatest ambition is to become Carrie Bradshaw. Here are bloggers and bullies, misfits and misanthropes, dear hearts and black-hearts, dogfights and catty squalls spun into a darkly humorous chick-lit saga. (Sept.)

Fun!,
This review is from: One Fifth Avenue (Hardcover)
Since I love Sex and the City, I am always on the lookout for any new Candace Bushnell books. This one, for me, was no disappointment. She has constructed a tale of Fifth Ave in NYC that is hard to beat and very interesting to read. The characters all mesh well with one another and it's just a fun read! What more could ya want?? Loved it. Would recommend it. Another good one--Take Your Shirt Off: A Novel of Hollywood.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: One Fifth Avenue (Hardcover)
This book is unreal. Its a descriptive, detailed and some what vicious novel about the residences of the posh One FIfth Avenue in New York City. Their are quite a few characters you get to know, and cheer for and against. It is so unique and fiesty. I have read it a few times and always come back to it if I want an escape.It is one of my favorite books of all time.
