This gets really preach-y. While I agree with the message behind the soap boxes, the book is not well-written enough for the plot to hold its own against the feminist message.
The plot is also majorly confusing. This book is sold as a romance, and I don’t think it is. There is a romance in it, but the majority of the book follows Ana’s career issues. The romance is at best supplementary and in no way central to the story. The romance is also pretty boring. Shane is incredibly sweet and kind towards Ana, but he has no personality or identity beyond his job and interest in her. He spends a lot of time entertaining Ana’s love of fish and all things aquatic, but we never learn any of his hobbies or interests. The whole book (but especially Shane) feels flat and formulaic.
If the love story is good, I typically don’t mind clean romance. This book though, had a boring romance with no sex scenes and a few mediocre kisses.
Overall underwhelming. The book did hold my attention, bust also did nothing to impress me.

While this was a pretty cheesy book I really enjoyed the ride. I typically don’t laugh while reading, but this book really got to me. There were so many goofy and funny moments between the characters that I loved. Alongside making me laugh, this book touched on serious topics surrounding women in the workplace, especially male dominated fields. I enjoyed that this had a romance in it but the romance wasn’t driving the main plotline. Ana did.

This book was great. I found myself laughing at all the misunderstandings as Indiana was thought to be a man and her friends made up a backstory for him. I was also cheering for Indiana by the end. Love how she spoke her mind, even if it got her in trouble!
