Walk of Shame by Lauren Layne
3.0
Andrew and Georgie, a realist divorce lawyer and a happy-go-lucky socialite. This is a grumpy vs sunshine, "Enchanted" as a contemporary novel. Andrew believed that there was no such thing as HEA while Georgie believed in it.
They had a thing going on. Andrew would always be at the lobby by 5 am to go to the gym and if Georgie was out all night, she'd come back by 5 with a box of donuts to share with the concierge. There, they'd meet and bicker. One day Georgie challenged Andrew to take her with him to work for a day to see if she could keep up with him. That's when their story started to move forward.
I don't particularly like Georgie's character. While they always had mini-fights, their big fight was about Georgie's mom coming to Andrew because she was going to divorce Georgie's dad. Georgie got upset with Andrew because he didn't tell her, even though he had client confidentiality obligations, although he had passed the case to his partners. The book told us that Andrew handled the fight like an asshole but I don't know, maybe I'm too much like Andrew but I thought that he didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't being particularly rude about it. Georgie was the one being over dramatic.
Andrew was the one who had to apologize while Georgie was seen as being in the right. That didn't sit well with me. Other than that, I didn't think their banter was anything special or endearing. Nothing heartwarming or anything to make me root for them. It was mediocre.
