Plot Summary of Monkey Business
"

Red Dress, Oct 2004, 12.95, 400 pp.
ISBN: 0373250711

At the University of Connecticut Business School in Maplewood, Kimmy Nailer, a student from Arizona, has sex with Jamie who is in one of her classes.

Then she decides that pothead Russ might be a better choice for her. Jamie keeps sniffing at her skirts until he notices Manhattan's Layla Roth. However, Layla has chosen some stud whose application makes him worthy of her attention at least in her mind after she sneakily read his personal papers.

None of the key foursome has any ethics as they allow their runaway libidos to rule.
