“James is scared about his work. Every time he finishes a piece, he's scared he won't get another one. When he gets another assignment (he always does, but it doesn't make any difference), he's scared he won't make the deadline. When he makes the deadline, he's scared his editor (or editors-there are always faceless editors lurking around in dark little offices at magazines), won't like the piece. When they like the piece, he's scared that it won't get published. When it does get published, he's scared that no one will read it or talk about it and all his hard work will have been for nothing. If people do talk about it (and they don't always, in which case he's scared that he's not a great journalist), he's scared that he won't be able to pull it off again.�
� Candace Bushnell, Four Blondes
What a gloomy book. This book "Four Blondes" is by Candace Bushnell who of coarse wrote "Sex and the city". I liked that book and love the series so I was curious about this book.
It is a Series of short stories about different women. The only thing they have in common is they are all blondes. It did look interesting.
So this is pure chick lit and I enjoyed maybe one of the stories (the first one). But surprisingly, rather then being fun, I found this little book to be rather dreary.
Very few of the women in these stories are likable and the stories were on the dull side. There was a sadness to a few of them that surprised me but other then that there was not anything memorable and it was sort of a let down. Actually scratch the "sort of".
It is readable and it's short to but honestly I did not get much from it. This is not a book that I personally would recommend unfortunetly.

I think I remember liking it but I was probably 20 years younger...

I could not stand it and I think I was gracious giving it two stars! LOL.
On the few occasions I have had to re-read “chick lit� I loved in my 20’s, I often wonder WTF I was thinking...

Haha..don't we all?
