A funny, unpredictable tale of four friends in business school, the circle has "Friends"-like moments of hook-ups and mishaps. (

A favourite author of mine, and probably her best-written book. The characters are very distinct, if not altogether quite down-to-earth real, this book talks about MB students and their complex relationships with each other. I loved the change of perspective, and how each character had a very unique inner voice. The relationship troubles certainly felt real. A must-read. (

This book read like being in high school again, only it was actually a group of people studying for their MBA. I liked a couple of the characters, and it was a fast read, but it pissed me off most of the time. I couldn't wait to finish it so I could start something else. (

A story of five college students it's interesting but sometimes they blur together as they're postgrads and all doing MBA so they have a lot of commonality there. Readable. (

Book description

MB is for Masters in Business
Which is what Kimmy, Russ, Jamie, and Layla are supposed to be studying for at the University of Connecticut. Jamie at least has serious academic intent. Well, until the first day of preterm when he develops a not-so-secret crush.

MB is for Marriage Bait

Layla's goal is perfection: perfect marks, perfect six-figure salary, perfect (I.e. rich, gorgeous, sexy) New York banker husband. . .candidate already identified as Bradley Green. The trouble is, seducing him could get her expelled.

MB is for Multiple Bed-hopping

Definitely Kimmy's favorite homework--starting with Jamie but moving swiftly on to Russ, until she discovers the small matter of his girlfriend back home. Hopefully Business Studies includes a minor in boyfriend embezzlement--a skill Kimmy will need if she's to keep hold of Russ.

MB is for Misbehaving Boyfriend

Russ didn't intend to be unfaithful--to either girlfriend! He never thought he'd find one woman who wanted him, let alone two. But since he can't even pick a major, how can he choose one true soul mate?
