Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love this book and have read it an uncountable amount of times. The determination of the two lead characters and their sexy and powerful lovers are my dream scenario of what i want in life. It has spurned me onto following my dream of journalism.
Unfortunately, some of my friends do not share the same view on this book and find it cheesy, unrealistic and the sex scenes humorous. However, I cannot find any criticisms of this book and recommend it to anyone who idolise succesfull, powerful women. A great 'trashy' novel. Definately the best one of Bagshaw's career.

To be quite honest I am not a fanatic reader of romantic novels. However this book completely changed my outlook of them altogether.
The fabulously crafted characters Bagshawe has created really do bring the whole novel to life, as a reader it is almost impossible to believe that these people don't actually exist.
The plot itself unfolds with such precision that the idea of 'rivals for life' just seems so scary to think about. It is absolutely crammed with twists and turns that do quite honestly defy the imagination. The sheer way it was written just had me engrosed for hours, I found it impossible to put down!
Even for the not so romantic people around, a book like this is sometimes hard to find, I throughly enjoyed 'Career Girls' and would, without doubt, reccommend it to anyone! A fantastic read! Enough said!!

I was another who received this book free from a magazine and thought it was so good that I had to rush out and buy her other books. Whenever I feel down, particularly round about my exams I read this book as it motivates me to do well telling the tale of two females who struggle to the top of their careers. I loved reading about Topaz more than Rowana(who seemed to get everyone else to do her work for her even though she took all the praise for it), however it was annoying that they looked perfect as it then made me wonder, would they have made it to the top if they weren't so good looking?

Awful, just dreadful
This is the only book which I have ever thrown in the bin upon completion. It just seemed to alternate between sex scenes and lists of designer outfits the girls were wearing. Read more

I like fiction, but .....
.... come on! As mentioned in one of the previous reviews, the repetitive and highly ridiculous sex scenes spoil what could have been a good book. Read more

A beach book - fun, sexy but just a bit too far fetched!
As you will have guessed from the title, cover and blurb, 'Career Girls' is hardly setting out to be great literature but it is very good fun! Read more
