Query: Shallow

I was so looking forward to this book after reading about the bidding war and the movie rights, but unfortunately it doesn't live up to the hype.The characters, six Hispanic girl friends in their late 20s, don't have any depth to them. The dialogue sounds forced. They read as representatives of whatever ethnic group they happen to be from, and not as characters unto themselves. In good books, the characters take on a life of their own, but that just doesn't happen here. One character is so out there (Amber), it's just silly.Overall, I just wasn't convinced.
