In her fourth novel, LIPSTICK JUNGLE, best-selling author Candace Bushnell re-creates a real-life world as compelling and fascinating as SEX AND THE CITY. Based on Bushnell's observations about life in a city filled with bright, ambitious and successful women, this is a world in which the women are often more powerful than the men, and the rules about relationships are meant to be broken.
