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.

Heartless by Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver has once again proven why she’s an auto buy author for me after reading this book! Cade is SUCH A GRUMP and I love him so much for it. Reading book 1, Willa was easily one of my most favorite characters, and I frequently blew up my bestie’s phone with things like “Willa just said _____.” It’s no surprise to me that I also loved her in this story. I’m not huge on age gap romances for my own insane reasons, but I thought it was done well here. Overall, I loved everything about this book. I had an absolute blast while reading it, and it now sits on my shelf as one of my most treasured books.

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 ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

 If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either.  I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...
