Product Description
Girlfriends are each other's human wonder bras - uplifting, supportive and making each other look bigger and better. He's coming at seven. He promised. Handle it. Act normal. It's your personality he's hot for, you tell yourself as you pumice toes, steam blackheads, razor pits, apply lip bleach and an organic face pack consisting of cucumber, honey, yoghurt and egg whites. The seven friends who get together for a girls' night out believe there are only two things wrong with men: everything they say and everything they do. Rowena has run away to a commune to 'find herself' (but by that time, will there be anybody home?); 'The Sushi Sisters' are trying to find fame as street singers; and, Soula is trying to find a man who doesn't think monogamy is something you make dining room tables out of (does the teething ring in her boyfriend's pocket mean that he's married?). In these hilarious tales of sun, sex and surf, Down Under Kathy Lette reveals what women really say when men aren't around.

Format:Paperback
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.
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.
