Writers love New York


It's not that I don't think New York is a great city. I get a little tired of the books written by/about women who are completely obsessed with it, though.
Momzillas by Jill Kargman is such a book.
It is very New York centered, and the author tries a little too hard with her trendy dialogue.
Here's a sample: "I know, I know: most peeps loathe their MiLs; it's the rule and not the exception. MiLs bug DiLs. They get up in their bidniss."
Do people in New York not just talk like normal people? It has been a while since I've been there.
The book is fun, though, and about child raising in the city. If nothing else it served to make me very glad I don't live there.
