I've read this book many times and very much love it. Bagshawe's work may be a bit repetitive in terms of plot out line but I thouroughly (sp?) enjoy the catty remarks that fly and the raw ambition of women through this novel

I thought this book was great for chick lit! It's was really descriptive and total Bagshawe! I recommend!

When I first read Career Girls, I thought, this is escapist pap, but what the hell, the womans only 22- so she had to get it out of her. Thus, I gave her another shot. And another. But there comes a time when the same formula gets VERY tired.

The plot line is the same in all her books. Two women. One, a "curvy-assed" hour glassed figure from the wrong side of town, the other, tall, blonde, upper-class, usually British. Both brilliant, both been screwed over by a male, enemies. Then, of course, they are banded together by a common enemy, which enables them to work together and form a fantastic, taking-over-the-world team.

When I read the back of "Tall Poppies" to find this plotline articulated on the back, I nearly cried.

Why would her publishers, and the readers go in for the same thing over and over again?

I don't rate it at all. Once you've read career girls, you've read Louise Bagshawe's entire imaginative repetoire.
