Maggie, Roxanne and Candice, the heroines of Wickham''s latest Brit romp, are three successful women in their early 30s working in the editorial office of the Londoner, a magazine enjoying a circulation renaissance. They meet on the first of every month at the Manhattan Bar, a posh lounge that caters to clientele sporting Prada bags. There, Wickham serves up a healthy dose of good-natured witticisms mixed with biting retorts as the trio bonds over adultery, pregnancy jitters and guilt. Freelancer Roxanne secretly dates an unknown referred to by the women as Mr. Married while jet-setting to Cypress and other foreign locales on a regular basis. Meanwhile, Maggie''s stuck at home in the country on pregnancy leave from her position as editor. It is kindhearted reporter Candice, however, who is in for serious trouble. When she recognizes a waitress at the Manhattan Bar as Heather Trelawney, whose family was ruined by Candice''s father, Candice decides to make amends. When Heather applies for a job as editorial assistant at the magazine, Candice supplies her with a writing sample of her own, landing her a job over 300 other applicants. Not heeding her friends'' advice to leave well enough alone, Candice continues to extend herself beyond normal bounds of generosity and is surprised to discover in the end she''s been duped and betrayed by Heather.

I gave up on this book after about 100pgs. I couldn't get into the characters and because of my new policy (if it doesn't grab me right away, move on to the next book in mt tbr), I'm making this book available and hopefully someone else will enjoy it. The author is Madeliene Wickham aka Sophie Kinsella, so if you liked the Shopaholic series, I'm sure you'd like this one.

RELEASE NOTES:

Taking this to todays Meet Up. If no one wants it I might bring take it to the Brisbane Convention in July.

I'm glad I admitted a secret enjoyment of Sophie Kinsella, as this was handed over at the GCBC meet - thanks Michyj, I'll add it to Mt TBR :)

I really enjoyed reading this book - nothing like a bit of brain candy when in the insomnia stage at the end of a pregnancy :)

An easy, fun read - thanks Michyj.
