Good trashy fun. Struck the right balance between light fun and a serious story. The wrap up was a bit quick and anyone who survived to the end seemed to have a happy ending, but overall a good story. (

I know that these are crappy trashy novels. But that is what makes them so fun and such brain candy. Don't judge me, I can't read literature and memoirs ALL the time.

Just fun. (

Delightfully trashy novel. It's an excellent summer read for a late night or a lazy day at the beach. The plot became a bit rushed towards the end and things were a little too tidy for my tastes. (

This is an undeniably trashy book... but also a very good one. Jackie Collins is a real page-turner, as a general rule; I love seeing how she gets her characters into and out of these horrible conundrums. This is the book that got me into her work, and I recommend it for anyone interested in checking her out. (
