A terrible, horrible book about a woman who sexually harrasses her boss, refuses to understand boundaries, and aims to completely break the man because she deems him to be too stuck up while being extraordinaril   normal.  This book claims to be a romantic comedy but there is nothing funny about listening to a string of different ways to say "penis" for 5 continuous minutes, nor having a woman constantly ask her boss questions about sex or his piss.  There is something truly horrible about a character who notices that someone doesn't like to be startled, and purposely goes out of her way to then scare them.  The female protagonist is the final boss of "You were mean to me in my dream so now I hate you" and did not do a single redeeming thing in this book.  The male protagonist was fine. 

Cw: sexual assault
After a grueling chapter of what can only be described as sex chicken, the female protagonist begins to masturbate in front of the male protagonist and when asked to stop, does not.  Then, the morning after they finally have sex, before the male protagonist wakes up, she forces him inside of her and begins to have sex with him while he is asleep.


The plot idea seemed cute, but nothing could have prepared me for the inexcusable behavior of the female protagonist throughout this entire book and her smug righteousness about it. 

0.25 stars and 14 hours of my suffering I will never get back.
