Paging Summer! 20 Tantalizing Beach Reads

One Fifth Avenue

One Fifth Avenue

By Candance Bushnell
448 pages; Voice

Take these ultra-urbanites for what they're worth (and it's a bundle): Schiffer Diamond, a glam, leggy actress of a certain age; her sexy ex, Phillip (his latest screenplay is Bridesmaids Revisited); a bratty beauty named Lola; an artsy walker; and a savage hedge-fund manager with an effortlessly chic wife (tip: smart women wear killer shoes with—surprise!—sensible heels), all occupying or orbiting the best address in town. One Fifth Avenue (Voice), by Candace Bushnell (Sex and the City), is all about passion—for prime real estate. A fable of glitter and greed. — Cathleen Medwick
