Business Wise is not for every reader.
Not a One-Size-Fits-ALl-Read. It's a quirky mix - some love the story, others prefer regular storytelling. Read if it's up your alley.

''This has definitely been one of those unexpectedly wonderful read!''

I would like to thank the author and Read the Book tours for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Business Wise captured my attention the minute I knew that it was set in 1980's Australia and I can confidently say that Clarke has delivered a vivid and inspiring historical fiction book that will win you over.

I was taken back to the era, set in Sydney, where the lives of the Gallaghers and Garrisons play out through multiple POV's, strong friendships, a budding romance and unexpected plot twists that leave you on edge.

Each of the characters have a unique voice and personality that makes the experiences they face and choices they make, an interesting and unpredictable read.

The themes that the author weaves through the bigger plot are carefully crafted to touch on the times that the story takes place in and I found this to be a subtle yet mindful touch.

It felt lovely to read a woman centric book set in a world familiar to the one I have grown up in, yet descriptive and detailed enough to let your imagination flow. This has definitely been one of those unexpectedly wonderful reads of 2021!

''The style of writing is clear, easy to follow and very clever.''

Business Wise lives up to its name; it’s a riveting, fictional account of what happens when a young woman trying to make it in the business world gets caught in-between two ruthless families trying to make sure each of their own businesses thrive.

Poor Marie just wants to prove herself…well, she wants to find love too, but mostly, she just wants to show everyone she has the business acumen to be successful.  However, it’s the 1980s and the economy is massively struggling.  There’s not a lot of room to learn the ropes or to make a mistake.  Especially for Marie, who’s caught between the Garrisons and the Gallaghers—both of whom have had a terrible feud going for decades and both of whom will do anything to ensure their family will succeed both personally and professionally.  The question is: Will anyone survive?  Will the feud resolve itself?  Will Marie be able to show everyone what she’s capable of?

M.B. Clarke has an extraordinary gift for capturing the many facets that make people both interesting and difficult. These characters made me want to hit them sometimes but reach out to hug them at other times.  M.B. Clarke’s style of writing is clear, easy to follow and very clever. Each character has his or her own distinctive voice and the dialogue and storyline pulls readers in immediately. I loved this take on the business world, and it was fascinating to have a glimpse into how reality might be for some business-oriented families and the struggles they face and deal with just because they are family.

‍Business Wise by M.B. Clarke is just such a book with its settings, great quirky characters, tense conflicts, light romance, and its interesting topic and plot that is unique and well written.  If you’re looking for an unusual intriguing read or just looking for something different to entertain you, then Business Wise by M.B. Clarke is the book for you.
