Today's book was another by Roz Bailey, Party Girls. Zoey McGuire, a novelist, leaves Connecticut and a cheating husband to return to New York City in hopes of curing her broken heart and writer's block. On hand to help her are her dear friends Jade, a realtor, and Marielle (Mouse), a frustrated actress whose only steady gig is as a waitress.
Zoey and Marielle are faced with rejection after rejection and become increasing frustrated over their chosen careers while Jade starts thinking that true love might be better than mindless flings.
As the trio club-hop and bond over mixed drinks and failed relationships, they learn a lot about themselves and what it takes to make it in the big city and in love.
If you're thinking a trio of women in New York City sounds like Sex in The City, you're right. But if you didn't blush at Samantha's steamy escapades and enjoy chick lit, this book is for you.

Better World Books August Book Drive Day 25
After Reading Lolita in Tehran, I needed something very light- a book you could just enjoy and not have to think about. I settled on Retail Therapy by Roz Bailey.
Alana and Hailey are roommates, best friends and shopping addicts. They share a size 6 wardrobe and a love for the finer things in life. Unfortunately, they also share an inability to budget their money- preferring Coco Chanel to Suze Orman. When Alana's father cuts her off from the family fortune and Hailey's acting career proves dicey, their shopping sprees are put in serious jeopardy. It's a long road to fiscal responsibility, but these girls make the trip enjoyable to watch. The other characters such as daytime diva Deanna and the extremely hot Xavier add much to the story.
If you liked Sophia Kinsella's Shopaholic series and Sex in the City, this book is for you. And if you're into getting more for your money, buy it from http://www.betterworldbooks.com/ where the shipping is free and each purchase helps library and literacy programs. They'll even throw in a book for someone in need for each book you purchase. Now that's a deal!
