Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"the philosopher queen of a social scene"

"Bushnell...broadens her scope in her latest ode to New York strivers and sophisticates...The fun lies in the author's acute observations about everything from real estate envy to midlife crises."

"Where [Bushnell] goes, her army of stilletoed fans follows... You gotta love it: the conflict, the secrets-telling, the peek into the world of the rich and valueless. It all adds up to a juicy summer read."

"One Fifth Avenue...is all things an escapist read should be: quick and wicked and wry. There's a blown-out bitch to root against, a star-crossed couple to root for, and a Tim Gunn-style best friend who deserves his own book. Great, guiltless fun."

"One Fifth Avenue is a modern comedy of manners--a landmark novel, if you like. Its observations about money, the Internet, the function of art in society as well as sex romps, social climbing and snobbery enhance Bushnell's reputation as an astute observer of modern life...Carrie Bradshaw wannabes as well as women (and men) near Bushnell's age--she turns 50 this year--will be pulled into this refreshing and highly entertaining novel about the power of money, sex and celebrity."
