About the book:Sloane, Ardie, Grace, and Rosalita have worked at Truviv, Inc. for years. The sudden death of Truviv’s CEO means their boss, Ames, will likely take over the entire company. Each of the women has a different relationship with Ames, who has always been surrounded by whispers about how he treats women. Those whispers have been ignored, swept under the rug, hidden away by those in charge.But the world has changed, and the women are watching this promotion differently. This time, when they find out Ames is making an inappropriate move on a colleague, they aren’t willing to let it go. This time, they’ve decided enough is enough.Sloane and her colleagues’ decision to take a stand sets in motion a catastrophic shift in the office. Lies will be uncovered. Secrets will be exposed. And not everyone will survive. All of their lives—as women, colleagues, mothers, wives, friends, even adversaries—will change dramatically as a result.

What I Liked:
• The writing was really good
• The plot sounded interesting
What I Didn't Like:
• Women come off overly jealous about everyrhing
• I hate everyone
Overall Thoughts: This book is like the R-rated version of the movie 9 to 5. I liked 9 to 5 way better.
This book drove me up the wall with the comparisons of what men get vs what women have. Some of the things these women complain about that aren't fair are well within their means to change them. One woman is mad at her husband because he can't feed the baby at night but she breastfeeds and wants to feed the baby. Some of the things they said were so over the top. Yeah women do sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to things but men do too. Male or female it all sucks. Being a human sucks.
Sadly for me there wasn't a likeable character in the bunch. There were cheaters and liars and just people who complained. Half way through the book I stopped caring and just kind of phoned it in.
Sloane threatens Ames for sleeping with women and calls him sexist, but she had slept with him herself to get ahead. And then even makes out with him and cheating. Ridiculous.
I don't dnf often (even though I should at times) but this book was on my nerves.
Confused on the perspective of the cleaning lady.
Sloane complaining when she thinks a man is hitting on her but isn't then complains about what an asshole he is for what he must think of her for assuming she thought that.... Ummm okay.
Then one of the ladies has a baby and uses the nursing room to pump but then decides to abuse the system by taking naps in there. Like how am I supposed to take a woman seriously? You're not paid to nap. You want to be treated the same as men but then you use the system to your advantage.
Final Thoughts: it was so hard for me to feel badly for them when they abuse the system to get what they want and then complain when they see it being used with someone else. They see another women being "abused" when they themselves slept their way up to the top. That didn't work for me. All the complaining just made me hate them. Hippocrates.
Now I know what the cleaning ladies pov was for.
