Holly works for an environmental non-profit as an intern. At the end of her internship there's one final challenge that could get her a new job in Scotland. So she and 4 other interns need to compete by having fundraisers. Her idea is to create a calendar with men and puppies.
This started out great, the banter is wonderful and the opposites attract was a lot of fun. I love office romances so I was expecting this to be a new hit. I really liked Jonathan, how he grows and changes through the novel. However, around the halfway point this took a dive, things started to get weird and the characters lost their charm a bit, it didn't help at all that we had a third act conflict which was super unnecessary.
I didn't really like Holly, she was alright in the beginning but some things about her irked me, like how she is so good at her job, so perfectionist and such a good planner. And yet she plans her project badly, forget deadlines, reading important articles....
The romance was cute but I would have taken out some of the conflict parts, since there was already the potential of her having to move away to create tension. It’s a good book but definitely didn’t live up to my expectations.
Read this if you like:
- Grumpy - Sunshine
- FMC staring over in a new career
- Great banter
- Workplace Romance
