In other words, since she knows she's not capable of creating original and involving characters, she needs to sprinkle in some namedropping(s) to spice up her tripe.
@autoclavicle: Barriers to what, or whom? Self-satisfied upper middle class white women? I don't think anyone's thought there were any barriers to them there in some time.
Hopefully the viewership of this shit show will be limited to the segment of the slope's population that it's actually about. Which is still way too many viewers.
@Carol Gardens: I completely agree. Park Slope in general deserves better satire than this. This is... who the hell cares what people wear on the playground? Who refers to their nanny as "having a forehead of lifelong suffering?" Who on earth gave this woman a book contract?
@Maujer: exactly what i was asking myself, except that sohn has worked so hard on being the park slope mommy writer posterchild for so long, you'll have to pry that mantle from her cold, botoxed hands. just go away!
Dear God, if I have to hear one more time about how women who choose to stay home with their children are empty and boring I am going to scream.
I got excited when I imagined Sex and the City with strollers, but now I think I'll pass.
Well, that's one very unsympathetic narrator. Sexist, racist, and apparently still mentally in junior high, I can't imagine anyone actually paying money to read this book.
@Lyesmith (Good joke. Everybody laugh. ): Thank you. Same thing I always felt about the Carrie character, who was totally unsympathetic to me, albeit in a slightly different, whiner way: always insecure, and always judging herself in relation to others, socially stuck in junior high and emotionally retarded (in that coffee house to her "friends": "But whhhyyyyy hasn't he called?"). Just grow the fuck up already and shut up!
