review 1: Intense chick lit told in multiple viewpoints... A lovely man twisted beyond recognition into a conniving violent monster. A woman who realizes her geeky husband married her solely for looks. A woman who realizes her husband is a gem beyond compare. A woman realizing that her lover, Sam is worth her family and more. All told amid a cunning plan to destroy one of the few gardens left in NYC. Reads like a carefully paced thriller as the ladies unravel the mystery of the motive behind the push to pave paradise and put up a parking lot.
review 2: Manhattan University's housing facility's garden is the common link which connect the 4 protagonists who have been through heartbreak , abuse , career satisfactions and troubled relationships. These women get a new goal i... moren life when the Dean decides to get rid of this garden midst of much protest. Just when they think it could be a part of the beautification of the campus thing , they realize that the dean's motives might not be as plain as they seem upfront.This is pure chick lit. Has a feel-good factor which comes from knowing that everything's is going to end well. Though the premise is good, the mystery which is attempted using the 'Poe' factor is very transparent. The individual stories too didn't hold my attention for long. I am not a fan of this genre (that could be one reason why I didn't 'GET' this book) but once in a while I do read one which catches my fancy so I might not be totally off the mark here. Considering it was a second hand book and knowing that there are friends who love reading this genre and to whom I have already passed on this book , I would say it hasn't been a loss . less
