Do you ever read a book simply because of it’s title? I do. I am one of those horrible people who, on occasion, judge a book by it’s cover . . . or title. Have I been burned by this practice? Absolutely. Especially considering I have this compulsion that once I start a book, I must finish it, at least eventually (and probably the reason I am reading approximately four books at any given time).
I love the Author(s) Christina Lauren. They are a pair of best friends who write novels together and make quite the team. Besties: take note, this is my dream.
Anyway, I found this book to be quite a pleasant surprise. It was in no way epic or life changing, but a good read. Think of it as a soft version of Fifty Shades of Grey, except I didn’t want to slap the main character by the end.
The main character, Chloe is a super brilliant mid-twenties, girl. She is working at a top tier company while attending a top tier business school. She also sleeps with her boss. She does not sleep her way to the top but rather goes quite far out of her way to prove that she deserves her position.
What I like about her character is that she is very confident. She dresses to make herself feel powerful and feminine, as opposed to dressing to impress her male colleagues. This is not the story about a supposedly strong, independent, cinderella-esque woman who is somehow rescued by a billionaire. She is a strong women who embraces her feminine side and works hard to make her way through the business world. In other words, a character I can relate to . . . minus the whole sleeping with the boss thing.
