GETTING EVEN by Sarah Rayner
“Betrayal and revenge fuel this smart, sexy tale of intrigue at a London ad agency. With Rayner’s brisk, snappy prose, spot-on characterizations (especially Ivy, as the epitome of bitchiness), and deft plot twists, this is chick lit with an edge. Pure entertainment.” Booklist
