A junior copywriter at a London ad agency, Cynthia Fishbein is the original good girl. She works hard, never complains, and takes care of everyone around her. Even Cyn’s therapist tells her she’s too nice. But all that’s about to change when a catty co-worker steals one of her ideas.
So Cyn goes her one better: She steals the woman’s identity.
Suddenly she’s breaking out of her shell, concocting a wickedly brilliant scheme to salvage her career–and maybe get a little revenge in the process. And once Cyn gets started, she just can’t stop. Soon she’s breaking the #1 rule of group therapy by dating Joe Dillon, the group’s sexy commitment-phobe. Leading a thrilling but terrifying double life, embroiled in a deliciously forbidden affair, she is having the time of her life–until her scheme starts to backfire in a major way. And unexpectedly Cyn is faced with a crisis that threatens her career, her relationship–and just might finish off her sterling reputation for good.

In her latest (after "Breakfast at Stephanie's"), British novelist Margolis serves up a bit of chick-lit fluff in which protagonist Cynthia is a classic good girl who discovers her bad side. When a colleague at her advertising agency does her wrong, Cyn double-crosses her and begins dating the new cute guy from her therapy group -another taboo, as stated by the group's therapist leader. When will all the sinning stop? Sadly, not soon enough. From the advertising/publishing workplace to the therapy group background story, this novel is an amalgam of plot lines from other clones of "Bridget Jones's Diary". Margolis's previous novels were more inventive. While there are some cute moments and a few chuckles, there's nothing original here. Now that's a sin! Purchase only if this genre flies off your shelves. -Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NCCopyright 2005 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
