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! 💙

The Lonely Hearts Crime Club

I obtained a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley.  The Lonely Hearts Crime Club is scheduled to be released April 16th, 2019 by Blackbird Digital Books. Synopsis (from Goodreads): An elderly resident of an inner-city tower block is brutally attacked and left for dead. Her neighbours, a pregnant alcoholic, a vulnerable youth, a failed actress and a cameraman with a dark secret, are thrown together in their search for answers. Misfits and loners, they are forced to confront uncomfortable realities about themselves and each other, as their investigation leads them towards the shocking finale.   The cast of characters for this book were very interesting in the fact that all of them are severely flawed.  When combined they formed a group of misfits similar to those of The Breakfast Club or The Sandlot.  Each person brought something different to the "team."  The main characters are listed below Ella-pregnant, 3rd trimester, recovering alcoholic, on h...
