I enjoyed:
- The humor is laugh-out-loud funny.
- Anastasia Watley slays it.
Not my jam:
- More D/s and power dynamics stuff than I find engaging.
- The "kinky inscrutable boss" thing doesn't do anything for me.

It’s hilarious, sapphic, with a bit of kink mixed in for good measure. I’m all about Star Wars jokes juxtaposed with major character development of the serious variety. It plays well for me.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I see the appeal of the book to some individuals. I picked the book because it was listed as a rom-com and I am the sort of person that can reread rom-com books over and over. I will laugh the second time, but for this book I didn't laugh once. The book did get a small chuckle out of me once. I think the right person, with the right humor would really enjoy this one. Unfortunately, I am just not that person.
The things I disliked are all taste specific: Janet, was too vain one moment too self-conscious the next. The boss power trip didn't do it for me. The story didn't feel very romantic to me, and nothing made me smile and think that this love was perfect. I never actually once thought that Wendy and Janet made a perfect couple. Sex scenes were hot, but that couldn't overcome the entire story. Again, I am sure some really enjoyed and will enjoy this book. The writing for me was good, but that is to be expected from YLVA.

Kaplan's got a great knack for quirky dialogue, and I chuckled at several of the witticism-laced conversations in this book. She's also got a solid handle on the physical aspects of a romantic relationship (by which, yes, I mean the sex scenes). Her handle on the emotional aspects, however, is rather less sure. Wendy and Janet's is very much a "lust at first sight" kind of thing, with both of them ready to jump each others bones before they've had more than a conversation or two.

***No Synopsis***
This is one of those rare times I give a book five stars. It has a little bit of everything. First and foremost, the author writes from both Wendy and Janet's point of view and does a remarkable job distinguishing between the two. Wendy has the most acerbic, yet charming sense of humor and while Kaplan was writing from her point of view, I was laughing out loud and highlighting parts on my Kindle that were too funny not to save. When the author is writing from Janet's point of view, the book is more serious with a very introspective feel. This is a romantic comedy, workplace and age-gap romance. It also has a few steamy scenes that are unique and Gal Godot even makes a guest appearance. I was captivated the entire way. I saw the ending coming by the time I was 60% in, but I didn't care. The execution was excellent and it was very unique. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
