In her second novel, “Four Blondes”, Bushnell gives readers another uncensored look into the mating rituals of the Manhattan elite. In four novellas, Bushnell uses wry humor and frank portrayals of love and lust to deliver four clever, hilarious and socially relevant stories. “Four Blondes” was a critical and commercial success. With “Sex and the City” and “Four Blondes”, Bushnell’s work spawned a new genre of fiction—the “chick-lit” phenomenon.
