One Fifth Avenue isn't just an address in New York, it's a lifestyle. People dream of living there (the smallest apartment goes for over one million dollars), and they will do whatever it takes to get there. Some lie, cheat, or sleep their way in, while some might even kill to stay. This book brings it's readers into the lives of the residents of One Fifth and the struggles they go through to stay up-to-date with the ever changing social ladder of New York.
Bookworm Review: This book has been out for awhile, copyright 2008, and I've been drawn to it since I saw the cover (it also helps that Bushnell is the author of Sex in the City). At first I was a little lost because you're introduced to so many chracters right away. There also isn't a break in between character's point of views. One paragraph you are in the mind of Billy, and then switch to Lola, and then back to Billy, and then on to James. Once you start reading it, though, it gets a lot easier to read and follow. Sometimes I had to reread a paragraph to make sure I knew who I was supposed to be. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more like it! You really do feel for the characters and are swallowed into their lives.
