slow to read couple of good shorts but very alike
Stars: 2/5 even though my CAWPILE says 3I'm not going to elaborate on this book much. I was disappointed. It's a collection of short stories about women - hence the girls' night in title. I expected light and fluffy - i'll read a couple each weekend. Nope. I liked one maybe two and honestly I don't remember which they were. Some were interesting, some I did not understand. It took me 11 months to read. That's too long. (yes, I should have DNF but I really hate doing that)Characters: 5Atmosphere:...
Rating - 3.5 stars. The book has an interesting collection of stories. I really enjoyed the pot luck of different writing styles. Most of the stories kept me interested and some I even hoped would become actual stand alone books, I would so read them. An easy and light read, ideal holiday read!
Although a rather 'fat' book, the money goes to charity so that's good. Took me a little while to read but as it is a collection of short stories it was easy to pick up and put down and pick up again. Some of the stories didn't grab me, others did. Is mainly though aimed at women rather than men and teens but that is who the book is aimed at. Loads of funny, sad and interesting quirky stories by some famous others rather unknown authors. I have some of the other books in the series and am lookin...
Definitely not what i expected. There were a couple of stories that were OK, but so many thatI didn't like that I can't remember the ones that I did.Pretty sure there was one that glorified a suicide, and there were definitely plenty of cringey moments and horrible people and not enough fun chick flicky stories that I had expected from such a cover and title like "Girls Night In". Surely with a title like that there should be stories I would like to read on a girls night in, but nope.Really the
A good collection of Short Stories by some talented authors. I was however disappointed with this collection, as I didn't think it was good as it could have been. It is however a perfect read for the beach (although it is a little bulky in size) or a bus or train journey.

I really liked some of these stories, while others didn't do much for me (as it often goes with short story collections). Overall it was a pleasant book, good for some bedtime reading, but without a wow-factor that would have led me to give it higher stars.
I think this is the one I picked up in Australia. Larger than the American one. A couple of stories overlap, but a good read.
I was so excited to start reading but I got about 10 stories in and felt frustrated. Short stories end suddenly OR leave you wondering where the rest of the book was! One way of knowing that I prefer a whole book.
This book is the 3rd in the series called "Big Night Out". The authors are the usual Girl's Night In suspects, plus heaps of celebrates & rock stars... such as Bob Geldof, Jamie Oliver, Donna Hay, Maggie Beer & many many more! Will start reading it sooon!
I loved it!

short stories not always with a happy endingssome were goodsome were weirdoverall entertaining but not riveting
I found this book in the common bookshelf of my vacation resort. I thought it'd be a light, um trashy read - perfect for the beach, sun and reading with friends similarly engaged around you. I read most of it - around 35-40 authors contributed to this book and I must have read around 20 (well over 400 pages, IIRC) but while it had its up moments, a lot of the stories were rather sad and depressing and not the fluffy, cheerful reads I had in mind. Would not recommend if in mood for light romance
I've had the second Girls Night In for years, and so picked this up when I found it. To be honest, I think they started to get the hang of it with the second one, which has much more variety than this compilation. I was starting to wonder how many ways you could tell the jilted lover / all men are bastards / finding true love story. Not that any of them are poorly written particularly, just this is a big book with limited variety. A good one to do into occasionally, rather than read cover to cov...
I loved these anthologies and would eagerly await the new one each year.It's so great to have some of your favorite writers exploring short form work and creating contained stories. I particularly liked Jessica Adams' addition. Good fun short stories, perfect if you wanna read a little before bed, but get annoyed at getting sucked into a page turner that keeps you up. Just limit yourself to one story a night though!
Very boring and unenjoyble stories. Even though I have read some of these authors before, their short stories in this book were not up to their usual standard. I have not read one of these Girls Night In books before and won't worry about reading one again.

I can remember reading the first first Girls Night In release when I was at university and living on 2 minute noodles and peanut butter on toast. My nan had bought it and then decided it wasn’t really for her (she’s not keen on short stories, I think she was swayed by the wonderful line up of names). She passed it on to me and my house mate Claire and I ended up both reading it. She was a reader too, one of my few reading friends and during the time we lived together (almost 3 years, 2 years in
