Playing the Game (Belle De Jour Book 3)

I can understand why other readers would get annoyed with the re-used Storylines of "Playing The Game".However, this 3rd Novel from Miss De Jour is essentially a *Fictional-Retelling* of some events in her Life & we disappear down the Rabbit Hole for more...Like her situation with "The Boy" (a Man who does not deserve Belle at all in my eyes).Her Office Job plus the politics that come with it along with her rather naughty Boss "Giles".Plus for me the one constant throughout this 3rd Novel is her Endearing Friendship with "N".I really identified with her times with N the most. Especially when he found a new relationship & their usual routine settled squarely back in to just being Friends with *No Benefits* (if you catch my Drift).Strangely, that Storyline really touched home with me as of recently, count on Belle De Jour to be helping me process some interal feelings I've been having in my own Personal Life as of late...the irony is real.A good Novel no doubt about it, glad to have it on my Kindle for a re-read in the future.Thanks Belle!

So Belle has stopped working as a call girl - good for her! Although that does make this book basically all about her rather mundane sounding office job and complaining about her waste of space boyfriend. Written in the same style as the first two, this is definitely readable, but the subject matter is just so dull and different from her debut novel I struggled to stay interested. I'd still buy her next book to see what she's upto, but if it's more of the same I'd have to say no thanks to more Miss De Jour.

I was really looking forward to reading this and was left dissappointed, after watching the series i thought the book would be amazing but it ended up being hard to get into and not a very good read at all. However if your going to read any of the collection i suggest this one to you. There are 2 other books from belle de jour but this one summarizes them both. I made the mistake of buying all three so they kinda repeated each other.

Belle de Jour is funny - no denying it.However, this was a lazy hodgepodge of the previous two books and the timeline is inconsistent.Anyone that read the previous two books can see right through it. It's basically a concatenation and abridged version of the first two books with a little bit of additional commentating along the way.Not impressed with the lazy cut and paste from the two really good previous books to make one cheap hybrid and pass it off as a "new" book

ok

Really enjoyed this book
