From Publishers Weekly
Sykes picks up where the prospective-husband hunters of her bestselling 2004 debut, Bergdorf Blondes, left off: "Married girls in New York these days put almost as much effort into losing husbands as they once did into finding them." When Sylvie Mortimer's husband, Hunter, gets called away for business on the second day of their Mexican honeymoon, Sylvie meets fellow Manhattanite Lauren Blount, in town for her divorce honeymoon, and Lauren takes the abandoned newlywed under her wing. Back in New York, Sylvie, working on the cheap for fashion designer friend Thackeray Johnston, brings a grounded perspective to Lauren's world of the rich, well-connected and freshly single, a world of theme parties (divorce showers, power christenings) and modest goals (make out with five men before Memorial Day, hook up their own surround sound). Meanwhile, Hunter's blossoming career as a television producer makes him a prime target for "husband huntresses," including his notorious co-worker Sophia D'Arlan. With Hunter acting secretive, Sophia popping up everywhere and Lauren egging her on, Sylvie sees her own divorce shower in the works. Though characters are as complex as the labels they wear and dialogue tends toward observations like "I want to be Lindsey Lohan most of the time, don't you?" Sykes's Bergdorf formula is still light, wicked, name-dropping fun. (May)

Ugh, ugh, ugh
2006/5/15
形式:ハードカバー
I first heard of this book in Vogue, the magazine for which Plum Sykes is a contributor, through a first serial (ie, an excerpt from the book printed in a magazine before it is published) that was reprinted there. Thinking I would like The Debutante Divorcee (because I thought Bergdorf Blondes was excellent), I went out and bought Sykes's new novel.
I hated it; I think I'm being generous with my two stars. As a previous reviewer wrote, Plum Sykes makes Paula Abdul look intelligent.
The characters are shallow and vapid and lack substance, especially the narrator, who I couldn't stand. The women who appear in The Debutante Divorcee are completely and utterly forgettable. I know that Plum Sykes's connection to one of the most widely-read women's magazines in the world is what got her books published in the first place; but someone should give Sykes a reality check as soon as possible and tell her that writing is simply NOT the career she should be persuing.

Absolutely terrible sophomore novel from a formerly-talented author
2006/5/21
形式:ハードカバー
Sykes fails to hit the mark with her sophomore novel. Bergdorf Blondes was a terrific romp in the lifestyle of pampered society princesses. Skyes is unable to recapture the wit and guilty pleasure of her first novel in this effort.
The novel is forced, cliched, painful attempt a light satire. Brands and names are dropped every other paragraph, to a pathetic degree of social hipness. The characters are over-the-top in an implausible, not loveably ridiculous, manner.
If you want great social-climbing satire, check out Wendy Wasserstein's Elements of Style. Look to Candace Bushnell for just plain good chick lit. Plum Sykes had a great debut, but her second novel fails being either a literary success or even a decent entry in the chick lit genre.

for the brain dead
2006/5/4
形式:ハードカバー
I enjoy a quick and easy read as much as the next girl, but this is just lazy and to put it plainly, dumb. I thought this would be a light read while I am 8 months pregnant and on bed rest, but I would have rather been forced to watch Baywatch re-runs.
