I barely finished this book, and I was extremely disappointed. I was looking forward to reading the novel, as I'm a huge fan of the TV show Sex in the City, and I'm a fan of the "20/30 something female looking for love" genre. But this book fell flat. Some of the events were mildly amusing, but not funny enough to warrant the length of the book. The foul language seemed [unreal] -- as though it was there more to shock the reader than anything. The sex scenes were boring. And, worst of all, there was no character development at all. Even some of the flimiest novels I've read paid some attention to giving the characters a bit of depth. The Ariel was absolutely one of the most annoying characters I've ever read about. I None of her relationships rang true. I just didn't care what happened to her. I really wouldn't reccommend this book to anyone.
