When Sloane, Grace, Ardie, and Rosalita find out the CEO of their employer Truviv has died, they are shocked.  They're even more shocked to find out their boss Ames is the expected pick to replace him.  Ames is a garbage human being, and there have been so many whispers in the office regarding his behavior towards women.  These four ladies decide that his takeover cannot happen, and put a plan in place that turns everything and everyone completely upside down.

The book starts with, "If only you had listened to us, none of this would have ever happened."  Instantly I was hooked.  The book was entertaining but a bit slow.  The four women the book focuses on are all extremely flawed.  At times I found them a little annoying, but it wasn't enough to make me put down the book.  As part of a bigger company myself, I've seen new leadership take control.  I've also seen new leadership fail drastically, making everyone miserable in the process.  This book was infuriating, but accurate.  Women are supposed to be treated equally, but that glass ceiling is VERY REAL.  The way the lives of the women interacted and how every decision impacted the story was interesting to me.  Overall this was an intriguing book.  I used a free Audible credit on this book and I was not disappointed.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review."  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough.  Arthur Less is a failure.  He's a failed novelist.  He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail.  The love of his life has found someone else to love.  What does he do, as a functioning adult?  He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials.  Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief.  This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right?  This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them.  I trudged through th...
