Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall Street Jungle

Product Information

As for Russ, he still keeps in touch with his girlfriend Sharon while simultaneously fooling around with Kimmy. I never understood why he appealed to Kimmy. He’s described as good-looking but personality-wise, he came across as boring and didn’t have much to offer. He wasn’t interesting, smart or funny. I liked how the author portrayed cheating as it was believable. I just wished there had been more focus on Russ, not because he’s fascinating but it would have been great to delve into his thoughts and understand him a little better. Layla's narration reminded me of Elle from Legally Blonde. I'm not sure why because she is not a social butterfly. I think it is because Elle dressed to perfection and walked really fast and that is how I see Layla. She starts out uptight and very rigid. The problem I have is that her sexuality did not mesh with her germaphobic student side. She also has her epiphany and realized that her Mr. Perfect is not so right for her.

Layla's goal is perfection: perfect marks, perfect six-figure salary, perfect (I.e. rich, gorgeous, sexy) New York banker husband. . .candidate already identified as Bradley Green. The trouble is, seducing him could get her expelled. Parker writes intense storylines that anyone can relate to. Her characters are complex, with long and sometimes turbulent pasts that they have overcome, that still continues to affect their present. . . . I cannot wait to see where she takes this new series.”—Fresh Fiction It reveals a lot of the discrepancies between what people think the banking jobs are and what they actually are – instead of engaged intellectually to come up with good investment ideas, you spend most of your time copying pasting and reusing previous writings to create pitch books that no one really reads, instead of “living large” you’re barely living – getting no sleep, no sex, no meaningful social life just doesn’t fit the definition of a good life no matter how much money you’re making, so on and so forth with many other examples of how reality departs from expectation, ranging from the corporate travelling experiences to meeting with clients (the ideal would be to meeting with clients around the world to understand their business, but the crazy schedule only makes you so tired that no information can get in you head, and you learn nothing about the business, and visiting 7 countries in 5 days shouldn’t be called travelling.)
