review 1: Had a hard time deciding how to rate this book. Strauss is a great storyteller, but all of the characters are extremely flawed and there's an undercurrent of bleakness and depression throughout each storyline. (If you're feeling down, this is not the book for you!)At times I was tempted to stop reading and pick up another book, but then I would wonder what would happen next to each character. It was also interesting to see how all of the characters were linked together through their stays at one hotel.
review 2: A mindless and quick read. Not the worst book I have picked up in a hurry at the library--and I'm not ashamed I chose it because I kinda like the title--but really not meant for more than the beach.Just finished this and actually enjoyed it a lot. It is
... more the story of various rooms at the NYC Four Seasons Hotel based on the women who stay there, what they are going through, and how their lives are all connected in some way. Perfect for the beach or a long plane ride. less

More a book of short stories than a novel, this one never comes together. Disjointed.
