The ending was a little "deus a machina (sp?)" but I wanted something a little vacant to read for the weekend. I like the way that all of the women came together, and the crazy antics they got in to. I have a friend who lives at home, primarily so she can afford her pseudo-fabulous life because in the real world she'd have to have two jobs, no car, a sugar daddy, and three roommates sharing a two-bedroom in Anacostia to afford her indulgences.
I think a TRUE shoe addict would move to Gaithersburg or Montgomery Village (since her expensive taste seemed to be limited to her feet) so she could spend MORE money on shoes.
There's only one complex I know of in Bethesda where the rent is less than a G per month (and that's WITHOUT utilities). All of that TOGETHER does not usually happen. #1, I want to know what a WAITRESS is doing with an apartment in Bethesda, $30k in shoe debt, and a car with a car note. I DO wish that the author would have gone more into areas where the women could have gotten shoes, mentioning the blossoming U Street Corridor or trendy Arlington, but instead she stuck to the trademark areas of Bethesda, Georgetown, Adams Morgan, and Dupont Circle. While I'm not part of the exquisitely elite, I could appreciate a lot of the name brands, political parties, money manners, and behaviorisms of the supporting characters in this book. Yes, it's a bit vapid and implausible, but whatever, it's chick lit! I'm glad someone finally showed that women in DC have style and excellent taste in luxury.
