Il libro è un racconto a puntate sulla società degli anni Novanta che descrive con spudorata verità la vita sessuale, i vizi, i sentimenti maligni e sotterranei della high society americana e si avvale delle ricerche fatte 'sul campo' dall'autrice in prima persona. Per scrivere i suoi pezzi, la Bushnell ha fatto di tutto: ha condotto indagini sulla vita sessuale delle donne sposate, ha partecipato ai party più ambiti e si è inserita come una spia negli ambienti presi di mira. Risultato: il libro sulla vita, il sesso e gli amori dei nostri giorni.

In sex in the city… e adesso?
