About the Author
Kathy Lette divides her time between being a full time writer, demented mother (now there's a tautology) and trying to find a shopping trolley that doesn't have a clubbed wheel. Kathy first achieved succes de scandale as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, now a major motion picture. After several years as a singer with the Salami Sisters and a newspaper columnist in Sydney and New York (collected in the book Hit and Ms) and as a television sitcom writer for Columbia Pictures in Los Angeles, her novels, Puberty Blues (1979) Girls Night Out (1988), The Llama Parlour (1991), Foetal Attraction (1993), Mad Cows (1996), Altar Ego (1988), Nip'n'Tuck (2001), Dead Sexy (2003) and How To Kill Your Husband (and other handy household hints) (2006) became international best-sellers. Kathy Lette's plays include Grommits, Wet Dreams, Perfect Mismatch and I'm So Happy For You I Really Am. She lives in London with her husband and two children and has just finished a stint as writer in Residence at London's Savoy Hotel.

Format:Paperback
I love Kathy Lette and her books so I pre ordered this thinking it was a totally new book from her. I was a bit wrong. So many jokes from her older books like Dead Sexy and How To Kill Your Husband are taken and aren't anywhere near as funny the third and fourth time around. Seemingly all of these characters are meant to be related but it was confusing and had nothing to do with each other.
It's only a short book; I hope Lette isn't running out of ideas yet trying to milk money out of us based on previous stardom. After I finished reading this I was left puzzled and let down; to be honest, when I turned the last page there was no inkling that that was the end of the book.
If you like funny, down to earth books and Kathy Lette, try her older, really great books such as Dead Sexy and How To Kill Your Husband.

This book is the jewel Kathy Lette's canon - all her other work seem seems tame and rather dull by comparison.
This is essentially a collection of short stories told by Australian women. It is crude, lewd and often downright rude but it is but always funny. Anybody with delicate sensibilities should probably not read this - everybody else should.

Nothing exciting, same as all the other girl office gossip about who's dating who and who fancies who. Fun for a teenager with an hour or two to sit and read with a glass of wine. Won't tax your brain.

Good but not her best
This is a collection of stories loosely connected by its characters, a group of old school friends, most of which meet up in the final tale, Girls’ Night Out. Read more
