Shelby was
just re-entering the dating scene and starting a new job. Astrid was a
co-worker of Shelby’s. Right away, there seems to be some work tension between
them. But can you blame them? Women are competition, after all.
Story starts
off fairly slow as the girls navigate through the business structure of their
industry, but it soon gravitates to the taboo side. For instance, Astrid has
had a crush on her boss for a while, so she doesn’t seem to mind when he flirts
with her or occasionally brushes up against her in a way.
“You have to
keep your wits about you to succeed in the business world. Men are not
potential husbands. They are stepping-stones on your path to success.” (18)
Readers
follow the taxing lives of two women, who are just trying to make it in this
world. It’s honest and impactful. Story keeps a steady rhythm and various
characters nearly crowd the story. It didn’t quite grab me as much as I thought
it would, but it’s still a decent read nonetheless.
My rating: 3 stars
