I picked it up at the library because I had read her _First Wives Club_ some years ago, & liked it, then had bought _Switcheroo_ & was very pleased with that also. But this one tops them both, and a lot more. Contemporary, in that it deals with the Wall Street disaster that brought on the Great Recession, and appealing to boot in that it addresses women's issues - our proclivity to believe, to love, to "help out", even when that help is confessing to someone else's crimes & when that goes wrong, the someone else not just abandon's one, but turns on them. Not your usual womanupwomanship either, but beating them at their own game, because she always was better than them. Definitely on my to-read-again list; a lot of this one went by the side because I couldn't keep me eyes open, and I couldn't stop reading. Wonderful wonderful book; absolutely highly recommended.

Meet Jennifer - a smart, sexy woman who has made good in a man's world. A major player on The Street, Jennifer agrees to take the fall when her boss is caught playing fast and loose with the SEC. After all, her fiance is a lawyer with the connections to get her off. Instead, Jennifer ends up in Jennings Correctional Facility for Women, a world a whole lot tougher than Wall Street. Inside she meets a lively group of smart, tough women: crew leader Movita, crazy Cher, blindly optimistic Theresa, and the adorable Suki. While Jennifer waits in vain for the rescue that her fiance has promised, Movita makes her an offer she can't refuse. No library descriptions found. |
