Cassie Bowden's days are filled with trite phrases: "Can I take your account number please?" She has been stuck in a sweaty call centre for six months, cringing in the glare of her anally retentive manager, and her life seems to be going nowhere. All the guys she meets are jerks.Out of the blue, Cassie receives a call that pierces the grey gloom of corporate conformity. The husky, sensual voice on the end of the line belongs to a 32-year-old French woman, who seems to share Cassie's frustrations. The caller is refreshingly honest and warm, and she instructs Cassie that she needn't go anywhere unusual to experience something special. The reader is treated to a demonstration of this, as Cassie and her new friend spur one another's hedonic passions over the telephone."Cassie's Call" is great fun, and doesn't outstay its welcome. The plot is a tad thin, but this book's strong points are elsewhere.
