4.0 out of 5 stars The Story of Our Lives Dec 24 2000
By M. Harvey
Format:Paperback
I think this is an underappreciated jewel in McInerny's collection. In the novel, he has perfectly captured the lifestyle of the wild and crazy party girls of the late '80's. This book resonated so strongly with me and my friends that the language became part of our personal lingo (this is where I heard "yada yada yada" for the first time, years before it was on Seinfeld). Very enjoyable and humorous.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wild ride...
through Manhattan with some street smart young women! If you loved Bright Lights, Big City, you will enjoy this book. I recommend this funny, touching story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Salinger minus the genius
McInerney writes well, there's no doubt about that. But somehow one gets the feeling that he is trying to be the new Salinger, and falling far short of the mark. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars An over the top party girl
If this were a story of a party girl without the baggage, I probably would have enjoyed it more. This girl has serious problems. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, entertaining, and yet not shallow...
I recall reading McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City" due to all then hype around it, and hating it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book of all time
This novel inspired me to write (a similar) one of my own. I still can't believe it was written by a man and not by one of my girlfriends. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Not what you think.
If you are familiar with Jay McInerney's celebrity status you may read this book and think it is a self serving, female bashing rag. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Shallow characters you actually LIKE...
This is a perfect synopsis of the 80's girl with too much yet not enough money/too much cocaine/too many men. It's highly enjoyable when you're home on a rainy day. Read more
