Last night while I couldn't get to sleep I finished reading Ralph's Party. While I enjoyed Jewel's writing style, I couldn't get into most of these characters as much as I had been able to with the characters in Thirty-Nothing. Siobhan, Karl, Smith and Cheri have to be some of the most selfish twats in a chick-lit I've read and enjoyed. Ralph and Gem are ridiculously naïve and are clearly a good fit for each other. One of my favorite Mark scenes is where he spills his guts on air and gets a following of fans. We had something similar happen on a local radio station here a few years ago so it rang true.
