Just awful. Didn't finish, irritated at the time I did spend on it.

Cute book, light and easy read.

Once again I've started this book and had to put it back on the shelf for lack of interest. Maybe it'll be better in a year?

The MBAs I know are not like this. They are not at all entertaining.

I hated every character and thought they were whiney idiots.

Definetly a beach read. I had a hard time with this book because it seemed unrealistic, but aren't most beach reads? It's about these graduate students who are pursuing their MBAs and they live in a dorm. How many graduate students live in dorms? Then they have a party and play spin the bottle. Hello, how old are you? Besides my annoyance for the 'high school' drama it was a fast read and is entertaining.

So this book was really interesting in the respect that it was written form the standpoint of 4 different students starting their masters in business school, and follows them through their first year. The stories all become so intertwined that it makes for some interesting interactions, and i think it all rings very true to human character. However, i was really distressed by the part where Russ was cheating on his girlfriend back home, and how easily he kept justifying it to himself. It makes it evident just how easy it would be to fall into cheating if you wanted to. I hated seeing that. But the fact that it was so compelling does show that that part was very well written. I also liked how the characters were all very *normal* they all had flaws just like every human, and no one was glamorized in this book. Overall, it was an excellent piece of work, just not quite my style.

Fun to read! This book takes you into the lives of four students who are majoring in business while searching for pretty much what everyone wants in life: love, health, and wealth.

unfortunately, there is no actual monkey in this book (see under Brenda Scott Royce for chick lit with chimps).

Cute, quick read.

Another fun read from Sarah Mlynowski. The story follows a group of students in their first year MBA programme. Cue the love triangles, cat fights, female bonding and happy endings. It's a nice addition to the "chick lit" genre.

This book was still on my shelves from that time when chick lit was queen. A lot of it is very silly, and I love silly sometimes. But I had trouble liking any of the characters. And, while apparently business school dorms are a thing (I looked it up), these characters who are in their mid 20s are still acting like teenagers. Jamie grew on me, and even Layla did, but Russ and Kimmie were difficult to like.
