Phi Beta Bimbo
by
Trish Jensen
Who fares better in the workplace: the brassy bimbo or the plain Jane? Do blondes actually have more fun? For her doctoral dissertation, sociologist - and lifelong nerd - Leah Smith intended to find out. Trading in her mousy brown hair and flat chest for bleached locks and gravity-defying cleavage, she planned a little experiment. And mile-high stilettos, a pump-up bra, an...more

All I'm going to say is, if you're going to use greek letters in your title, please have a reason for it, like a greek letter society or something associated with them, like medicine or law. I thought that's what this was going to be about- medicine, law, or collegiate greek letter societies and a girl overcoming preconceived notions and achieving her goals. This is not about a sorority or a former sorority member or even someone posing as a former sorority member.
This is the Second book I have read by Trish Jensen, and was wildly disappointed. I'm not sure though who I was disappointed with the Author or myself. I don't really remember Stuck With You, but I know if I had felt about it the way I feel about this book that I would have never read Phi Beta Bimbo.

This is a chick-lit book about a woman who feels that she is mousy and that attractive women get all the breaks. So she applies for a job in her brother's cosmetic company both as herself and dressed up as a bimbo, to see who gets the job. She then gets involved in investigating corporate espionage, and hilarity insues. I actually laughed out loud on several occasions. This is a good beach read.
I was not sure I would like this book when I picked it up but I thought I should at least give it a fair shake it seemed funny. I am very glad I did give it a fair shake the book was hilarious. Now while some of the events taking place were a bit unbelievable the story itself was still fun. Following the love and business of a family and their friends and the relationships they build is a great ride.

Fell in love with Leah and Mark right away! I read the book while in the ICU with my grandfather; it was good enough that it temporarily let me step into Leah and Mark's world and not focus on reality. All the characters were superbly thought up, each with their own distinct personality. There were moments that made me laugh, made me want to cry, and moments where my heart stopped dead in my chest.
All in all a suspenseful romance novel with a happy ending.

This book made me laugh out loud... It is so funny... Leah dresses up as Candi... Steve dresses up as Stephanie... Kate dresses up as William.... Mark and Jake claim incorrect jobs.... I smiled through every page... the writing is great... there is so much humor I can't even describe it. This book was funny to the end...
As a line in the book says "If there's anyone in this place who is who they say they are, please stand up"

Considered "chick-lit", but it's a decent light read for either sex. A lotta cross-dressing going on in this book, but it's not what you might think - it's for business and sociological experimental reasons. Pretty funny storyline and happenings, centered around two competing perfume companies, a corporate spy investigation and some love stories amongst the companies founders and employees.
It was too ridiculous a premise for me NOT to pick up. There was a fair amount of heart, the standard BRICK method of exposition and character development but enjoyable in the end.
This is a funny book, just don't expect too much from it. All of th cross dressing and people in disguise feels a little over done at some points.
It is a very interesting book to say the least, I think I'm really getting into the romance genre. ;-P
Cute premise, totally brainless, just what I was looking for on my last vacation day.
