I was dissapointed. I liked a lot of her other books but this one seemed to drag on and i kept waiting for something to happen. Not one of my favorites.

This review is from: Fashionably Late (Mass Market Paperback)

I've enjoyed other books by Olivia Goldsmith, but as a mother of an adorable son who happens to be adopted, I can't get past the negative adoption language that is peppered throughout the story (at least the first part of the book) and the negative stereotypes of adoption that are reinforced here. I imagine the language (e.g. "real mother" when referring to her birth mother) and stereotypes (e.g. the character's mother prefers her biological daughter over her adopted daughter) would be offensive to any adoptive parent.

It's a shame, because I chose to read this book because it's a fictional story that includes adoption as a part of it, but I just can't bring myself to finish it. For that reason, I can't recommend the book at all.

This review is from: Fashionably Late (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked First Wives Club and Young Wives alot better than this one. The fashion element intrigued me to pick it up, and the subplots were interesting, but like another reviewer said, all karen kahn did was to put down "regular" women. She mentally made them over, wondered whether mainstream America would "understand" her designs, and despised the "bridge and tunnel" crowd as being unforgivably dowdy and out of touch. That aspect of the book really turned me off! We read Vogue out here too! She sounded really elitist. Is Goldsmith trying to make a point? She only tried to see the other point of view when at the end, she was forced to. All of a sudden, the American woman was inspiring! I also wanted to see what would happen to Tiffany. I liked all of the other characters except Karen. Oh well, I hope her next ones will be better.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Is Olivia Goldsmith that shallow?
First off, let me say that I didn't dislike reading this novel. However, I could not identify with any of the characters. Does anyone really care about clothes THAT much? Read more
