Eat, Drink, Gossip... Who Said Poker Night
was just for the Guys? 8.17.04

Ready for the next book to grab & read this summer divas? If you're like us at all, you're probably overdue for a good chuckle. We read & love this book and think you will too.

Dissatisfied both with writing a “Single Girl on the Edge/Ledge/Verge” column and with her boyfriend, Ruby Capote sends her best columns and a six-pack of beer to the editor of The New York News and lands herself a job in the big city. There, Ruby undertakes the venerable tradition of Poker Night- a way (as men have always known) to eat, drink, smoke, analyze, interrupt one another, share stories, and, most of all, raise the stakes.

When Ruby falls for her boss, though, all bets are off. What happens when Mr. Right has his own unresolved past? As a smart as it is laugh-out-loud funny, Girl's Poker Night is a refreshingly upbeat look at friendship, work, and love.

What the critics are saying

“If chasing after a guy is a waste of time, read this Novel.” – the Buzz

"Jill Davis's Girl's Poker Night is every man's worst nightmare; a candid look at how the other half thinks and feels. Ruby Capote is a smart, neurotic, maddening heroine against whom very few male poker players would stand a chance. I certainly HOPE this is fiction.”
- Jay McInerney author of 'Bright Lights, Big City' and 'Model Behavior'

“Fun.”
– Entertainment Weekly

“Davis writes like a professional comic, (with) witty prose and cute anecdotes.” – the Onion
