Summary: I LOVED IT!!!!
Comment: I was reading some reviews of this book, i hate to write my own. I really enjoyed reading this book. I think the main character Janey is fun to read about. Sometimes you hate her and sometimes you feel sorry for her, mixed emotions, but she made the book interesting.
This is a fun book to read, if your one of those people who look for some kind of deep philosophical meaning, not gonna find it. That's why they call it fiction. I enjoyed it because I was able to escape from reality into the life of Janey. I didn't want to put the book down and I wish it wasn't over, I just want to keep reading about her.
This was in continuation from the first story in 4 Blondes, the previous book by Candace Bushnell, I hope she writes more books about the other characters that were in that book as she did with Janey Wilcox. Left me hanging and wanting more.

Summary: A Fast, Fun Read
Comment: TRADING UP (Bushnell, Candace) is very similar to both STORY OF MY LIFE (McInerey, Jay) and MY FRACTURED LIFE (Travolta, Rikki Lee). One of the best books I've read this year.
Rating: 5
Summary: Pleasantly Unconventional
Comment: The first thing that i liked about the book was that Janey was not supposed to be liked. That is rare in books and Bushnell made it work. Janey was a mystery and you had to read on to solve her. I found that fascinating. Many reviewers state that the story is not believable. Well, I lived in NY and know a few successful people there and trust me, there is nothing unbelievable about the plot. NY can be even worse than depicted in this novel. And it doesn't matter how rich a man is; he will still tolerate a beautiful women if he is in love. By the way, men generally like difficult women.
I loved the plot because it was unconventional. Janey did things that as a reader I found appalling but still fascinating. She struggled between her emotions and that was very real. I also disagree with one critics opinion that Mimi just completely changed in the book. Mimi fell in love in the book. All women know what love is capable of. Mimi's hollow life became filled and her image softened. I loved the transformation.
The ending was increadible. I have read few endings like it. It was rushed but properly so. Janey was rushing in the story! When she made her comeback, I fell in love with Janey. Anyone would love her for her strength! Yes, Janey was shallow among other thigs, but she was a fighter. That's respectable! Janey's journey was confusing at times but that's what made it so much better. She felt like a human being, not a conventional character with a typical 'bad girl' or 'good girl' personality. Bushnell did a wonderful job! Read it!!!
