Query: Very readable, but ultimately lackluster and disappointing

I was in search of an enjoyable chick flick type book when I bought Bergdorf Blondes. Unfortunately, this book had all the trappings, but none of the heart. It was a very fast read, which is probably good because I would have likely put it aside otherwise. I did not feel the author gave us any real good reasons to sympathize with the main character/narrator. I am not sure why I kept reading until the end. Perhaps I was looking for her to get more real, or at least less superficial. Somehow it never happened. (Or might have kept readingbecause it made me happy to be married and no longer living in NYC!)Regardless, the lives of these girls seemed very pathetic and lonely. I prefer books where the main character has a goal greater than getting free clothes and rides on private jets. I did not root for the main character, I felt I was only watching her life from afar in fascination of its vapidity.
