• Four Blondes (2000)
  In her first book since the cultural phenomenon Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell triumphantly returned with the national best-seller Four Blondes, which The New York Times says "chronicles the glittering lives of semi celebrities, social aspirants, and moneyed folk ... [with] withering precision." Now her collection of novellas is available in paperback -- just in time to pack in your handbag for that summer weekend getaway to the Hamptons or that romantic rendezvous on Martha's Vineyard. Four Blondes tells the stories of four women facing up to the limitations of their rapidly approaching middle age in an era that worships youth. From the former "It-girl" heroine of "Nice N'Easy," who each summer looks for a rich man who'll provide her with a house in the Hamptons, to the writer-narrator of "Single Process," who goes to London on a hunt for love and a good magazine story, Bushnell brings to life contemporary women in search of something more -- when the world is pushing for them to settle for less. Sexy, funny, and wonderfully lush with gossip and scandal, Four Blondes will keep you turning pages long into the night.

• Trading Up (2003)
  With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social satire, Candace Bushnell, who with Sex and the City changed forever how we view New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manolos, now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter day comedy of manners. Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute. But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship-and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams.

• Lipstick Jungle (2005)
  Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell returns with her fourth novel, this time writing about three powerful women in New York City at the top of their fields, each navigating her way through business, relationships, scandal, success, and betrayal. Lipstick Jungle is sure to be one of the most talked about books this fall. QUOTES The chick-lit queen strikes again...brilliant and trashy. Flare magazine Bushnell has a knack for creating and describing strong female friendships. The novel is at its best when Nico, Victory and Wendy interact with each other.the women are well-developed, strong and vibrant presences throughout the book Winnipeg Free Press her observations are dead on and hilarious.  Here's something to be said for ending a modern romance not with a kiss from Prince Charming, but with an office overlooking Central Park. -- Ottawa Citizen
