Just finished Career Girls and loved it! This book actually couldn't go ten mins without a naughty bit and I don't think I've ever read a chick lit book which mentioned blow jobs quiet as much as this one. I loved how one min I was on Rowena's side and the next min on Topaz's. A fun read :) Now to start on the next book in this great double bill: The Movie!

Just finished The Movie. It did that awful thing to me where I really wanted to hate one of the characters but ended up feeling sorry for her in the end which was rubbish becuase she was a grade A Bitch! I liked this about the same as the other book so overall a pretty impressive Double Bill!
