When I first started reading Chick Lit, it was tough to find what my "next read" would be. Now, it seems like 10 new ones are published every day, and they are getting shorter and shorter, and it is becoming more difficult to get past the first chapter. Party Girls jumped out at me because of the cover artwork and because of its thickness. It is a good, meaty read that lets you get into some character development other than "I'm single and I'm doing the dating scene in New York City." You get a good sense of what each character is like, and by the end, they all have a few changes to their personalities or morals. I was able to envision where they lived and how they were dressed, like a little movie in my head. I happened to be in a store in downtown Boston, and saw a girl and thought to myself "hmm, I bet that is just what Jade Cohen would look like." Party Girls gets a big nod from me, and I'm looking forward to Roz Bailey's next book.

this is the only book i've read by Roz Bailey, but i found it to be a great pageturner. the fun, wild life of these 3 women will keep your attention until the end and make you feel like calling up your girlfriends and finding the nearest party. this a great read for the fun-loving females out there!

Having read nothing but dark and poignant books lately, I decided to indulge in my favorite guilty pleasure: a chick lit. And what a great chick novel Party Girls is too! Reading about three thirty-something Manhattanites' struggles with love, careers, cocktail bars and real estate was quite enjoyable. Roz Bailey has created characters so believable that I hoped things worked out for them at the end. Sex and the City has got nothing on this gem! Are you in the bargain for great chick lit? Pick up Party Girls.

Zoey, Jade and Marielle are your classic single 30-something women who are from the city and reunite in the city when their lives all start to fall to pieces. Roz Bailey's elaboration of the characters is so brilliantly executed that you can't help but read the book in 2 1/2 days (I know I did!) I think this is a fabulous read for anyone looking for a chick lit book. As an NYC-girl myself, it is an extremely relatable novel that I've passed to three other friends who adored it and I'm reading it again!

This book has 3 main chicks in it. The first one being Zoey, an novelist with only one book on her bestseller list, she gets away from the pressures of her divorce and stays at a friends house in New York to help cure her writer's block. The second is Jade. She is the amourous one of the bunch. For every house she sells, it adds another on her list of sexual conquests. But lately she just feels unsatisfied and wants to experience a deeper feeling of intimancy in her sex life. Instead of a one hour romp in the floor of the new home she just sold. The third, and my favorite, is Marielle. She is an African-American struggling actress who has to change her hairstyle with every new audition she recieves. She doesn't realize that what she really needs is love and not a hairstylist.
I would highly reccomend this book to my friends. It is a great chick book with alot of problems women face today.

This book was great. I couldn't put it down. It's just like Sex and the City. Everytime I went to read it I kept wanting more. I encourage everyone to read this because there is someone you can relate to in here.

This has been a great read. Fun for the beach or just to take your mind off things. Funny and easy to read. Looking forward to more books by this author. Great first book!

A walloping, spicy summer read. Plays up city romping by still-single women. Taps into a vital dynamic of Sex and the City -- jobs and men will come and go, but your girlfriends will always be there. Hope to see more from this author.

Generally I love this genre. A group of single friends trying to make it in New York City. This story, however, was predictable and shallow. The main character concentrated mainly on getting drunk. Repeatedely her buzz is descirbed in mind numbing detail. Even though she is in the midst of a divorce, she is more concerned about her new haircut than her financial and emotional challenges. Her friends are equally annoying and often portray insulting stereotypes. The African American, the gay guy, and the Jewish girl all seemed consumed by the search for sex and the perfect relationship. The dialogue between the group was corny and unbelievable. What makes the author think it's okay to keep repeating "You go girl"? As is typical with this type of literature everything works out nearly perfect in the end for everyone involved. This book was juvenile and boring and a complete disappointment...Don't waste your time.
