Yes | No“This sophomoric post-graduate novel is a sequel to 'Windchill' and continues the story of Cherry Marshall, who rises to fame as a model in New York City. I would not class it as chick lit, as there is no hint of satire in it's pages. Cherry is naive, she's from the country, and excited about leaving her 'hick' life behind to the strange unknowns of the city. The novel is thinly autobiographical, the heroine, likeable in a daffy sort of way. She is self-absorbed in her career and you almost want to slap her for not being a better friend to those she left behind, or cringe at the awkward plot devices which tie everything together (three arkansas folk who know each other make it big as models in NYC, two straight off the street - what are the odds?) but the novel carries its own in a compelling sort of way, giving an inside glimpse into 70's NYC decadence.

Contrast this novel with Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar' and ponder on whether it's safer to stay in the shallows of glossy fashion lite than to risk exploring the deep end.”
