I'm thrilled that Hedonist Six has packaged all four `Just Another Day at the Office' stories under one cover. Although I've read them separately, I bought this for a cracking, non-stop, fast-paced read. As I've mentioned in other reviews, I love the structure of Hedonist's work. Clever, well- executed storytelling from more than one viewpoint, delivered in short, punchy sentences. The modern, sexy, dialogue is oh so stimulating.This author prides herself in creating realism. She prefers the Ugly Duckling, so it's easy to relate to her characters, understand them, and go with them through their lives, worry about their choices and care about where they are going. Life and work and work and life are scrutinised in fabulously written scenes, describing intimacy with emotional resonance. Cath and John eat, talk during sex, and make mistakes as well as love. An enjoyable, hot read from a writer to watch.
