One Fifth Avenue, by Candace Bushnell

Not my typical pick for a read, but this turned out to be entertaining. It's all about the residents of the One Fifth Avenue apartment building in Manhattan, the day-to-day 'struggles' of the filthy-rich and those around them. A lot of the characters were annoyingly self-centered and created plenty of drama, one standing out the most was Lola, a 22-year-old trying to stay in One Fifth no matter what she had to do or who she was involved with. There's also a famous actress, a screenplay writer, a book author, a hedge-fund manager, etc. I read through this pretty quickly, and while it passed the time nicely, there's not a whole lot of it that will likely stick with me for long.
