Under the Influence by Noelle Crooks

5.0

The Devil Wears Prada meets The Assistants is the perfect description for Under the Influence! Charlotte Green’s character was perfectly written as a sympathetic villain; so many times I found myself “drinking the kool-aid” just like all the previous Greenhouse employees! Her inspirational quotes truly were motivating, despite her intentions.

Harper’s professional career taking unexpected turns in New York and Nashville is very relatable and as she navigates her own moral compass and self doubt she grows into a character I was rooting for IRL! #teamharper

The employer/employee dynamic while seemingly exaggerated does allow the reader to explore work cultures and environments and assess whether their own boundaries may have been crossed. This is the perfect book to laugh at, swoon over, and learn from!
