About the author

My novels are The Art of Undressing, Thoughts While Having Sex, Are you in the Mood?, and You Could Do Better. They aren't as sexy as they sound, which could be good or bad depending on your point of view.

My new novel is Astor Place Vintage, and that will be published by Simon and Schuster in 2013. It's about a woman who works in a department store in 1907 Manhattan and a woman who owns a vintage clothing store on the Lower East Side in 2007.

I'm currently building a website for the book at http://www.AstorPlaceVintage.com with lots of photographs and historical information I wasn't able to use for the novel but loved to learn about.

blah! I think I lost braincells by reading this book.

Couldn't get through it - I think I read about 1/3rd of it, and when STILL nothing significant had happened, I gave up. I'm a quitter; I admit it.

I just developed a hobby for reviewing books and this is my first review filled with disappointments.

At first, other than this book is set in NYC, it has terrible plots and horrendous characters.

How can a mother to a newly born be so disgusting who luckily also has a loving husband who is ready to understand and comfort her on every stupid steps she takes.

This book is set around Camille who is in my sense and opinion a failure in every aspect of life. All her life her lived with a fake name just to seek attention and she's such a selfish self-centered woman who actually thinks about throwing her baby out of the window just because he was caring to be fed!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN!!!

Camille is holding grudges on her dead father who was also a cheat to both, she and her mother... A man who was stuck in his fantasies and made his daughter drawn in them too...

I just have a thought here "How can you choose a profession or anything which already had torn your family apart..."

Honestly, I thought to give up this read many times but still I am not a quitter and Alas! I made it through this terrible book. Personally, I felt this book is the writer's (Stephenie Lehman) unfulfilled lust filled with filth that she was never able to make it on big screen or hearts.

I don't like to give mean reviews, but this might be the worst book ever written. The storyline is terrible, the characters are horrendous and the only good thing was that it was set in NYC. So glad it was a library lend.

Got to page 90 and realized while the book was well enough written, it was depressing because the protagonist had such a dead end approach to life and so little self growth. I couldn't stick with it, as I need to look forward to reading a book, not obliged to find out what happens.

Waste of time reading and found the main character despicable.

[Liz · Rating 3 out of 5]

this book is a funny recount of what happens to a stay at home mom. camille sounds a lot like i did, just trying to get through the day with a new born without being bored out of my mind!

Chick-Lit ... which is not a bad thing.
