No longer will she have to choose her boyfriends according to who has a house she can summer in.At the most exclusive of Hampton parties, Janey finds herself mingling with Hollywood celebrities and the cream of New York society. But all this is secondary when she is charmed and captivated by a handsome, successful man, a man who quickly becomes her new beau.

Anyone who has read 4 blondes by Candace Bushnell will recognise Janey Wilcox, the centre character in this story. In 4 blondes, she was working as a model and basically used sex with rich men as a way of paying for her summer vacations. As 4 blondes ends, she’s 27 with a future as a screenplay writer…

This picks up her story at 32, she’s got a major modelling contract, but underneath, she is still the same person. She’s very selfish, and still using people to get what she wants, including in her eventual marriage. Even her friendships seem to be with the people who can do something for her, rather than actual feelings towards anyone. Her whole life seems shallow.

Even whenever her sister really needs her, she’s too interested in herself to really be there for her. Also, her new best friend Mimi needs her help, and Janey’s jealousy threatens to ruin everything.

Then her pasts comes back to haunt her, and she has a lot of decisions to make that affects her whole life, which she goes about in the only way she knows, by giving men blow jobs behind her husband’s back, and whenever everything comes crashing around her, she bales out.

Janey is a very selfish and unlikeable character, and I didn’t like the ending, I guess secretly I wanted her to get her just rewards, instead the ending works out favourably to Janey. More than once, I despaired that people like Janey actually exist, but I know that there are those people in the world.

This book was very interesting to me. I hated Janey, but to me, this was just more reason to read this book, to see what actually happens to her and also the other people caught up in her life. The book also gives an insight into the minds of some famous people, and what we all hope doesn’t happen, but obviously does.

This book is very well written and is easy to read. It’s quite a long book, and is divide into 3 separate books, each centring on various stages in Janey’s life. There are also flashbacks into her previous life, which answers a lot of the questions that are presented in the book with regards to her background, and also some of the story in 4 blondes is revisited to fill in the gaps. It would be advisable to read 4 blondes first, but it’s not compulsory, I just found it easier to understand the story, knowing the first part of the story.

Review of Trading Up - Candace Bushnell by cocoklo

Advantages: Easy to read, Witty
Disadvantages: Far too long for a book on this topic

Much to my surprise, I really enjoyed reading this book. I opened the cover and expected to find a series of shallow (and wholly uninteresting) encounters between people I was likely to deem shallow and wholly uninteresting. Instead, I found the backpage reviewers comment of "Jane Austen with a Martini" to be blindingly appropriate. This book is a good read for anyone who enjoys traditional women's fiction or indeed, the wry humour of Jane Austen ...
...goes far to bridging the gap between the two genres. It follows the story of the young protagonist, Janey Wilcox, lingerie model through her rise and rise through the ranks of the famous and superficial. Through her marriage to the highly 'appropriate' (and far too nice for her), Selden Rose, her sexual exploits as she uses her explosive good looks to get exactly what she wants and to her eventual (and much applauded) downfall, flat on her pretty, ...
