"Underneath it alldesigner clothes and moxie asidemy mother was more than any daughter should ever have to handle." - from Bachelor Degree Strolling the city sidewalks of Manhattan's posh Upper East... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Yes, men do read Judith Marks White's stories and yes, they thoroughly enjoy them. In fact, men who wear Brooks Bros, Paul Stuart or J.Press, (or maybe even Jos. Banks) need to read her stories to learn how another "half" of society live. The characters are the Professional and Creative type, not the mundane business or legal types. There is the name dropping, the "in" spots, the current fashions and contrasting characters that educate and inform the reader that, yes, these characters do exist in "real" life. This is life in those quadrants of the city. It is not good or bad, but can be different, annoying and entertaining. The story, like all of JMW's stories, builds nicely, then twists and then BANG! Oh, so clever! However, the best part of JMW's stories are the words. Words you love to read; words that make you smile, words you learn from and words you know, but never use. Words that are placed together to excite and make the reading so much fun. The art of the writer, thus the art of the characters and the story. Judith Marks White is the other side of, but equal distant to Garrison Keiller. Humor and good story telling at it's best. Bachelor Degree: it's worth the "read." Yes!

For all the reasons I loved Marks-White's SEDUCING HARRY I loved BACHELOR DEGREE even more! The world the author creates is an easy one to love, filled with delicious food, exciting romance, glamour, fabulous outfits, cool characters, and a story that has you turning pages till it's so past your bedtime the book falls out of your hands. I finished at 2 am and already miss knowing I won't be going back there today. Read and enjoy!

A totally enjoyable read. The subtle homor keep you smiling all the way through. The storyline keeps you guessing "Will she or won't she?" (end up with the ideal bachelor -- or which bachelor). The antics of her meddling mother and annoying cousin will keep you amused and you will enjoy the NY scenes described so deliciously. A marvelously delightful book.
