I know I just complained about reading audiobooks, but here I am eating my words. Reading this made me realize I can read romance books in audiobook format; fantasy is still a different story.
I listened to this over the past two days and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it read more as a Chick-lit book than a romance. The main story follows Jess as she picks up the pieces of her life after being fired from her Wall Street finance job. It was for the best anyway because she was overworked and undervalued. When she is fired she overhears why because “she’s already being overpaid anyway for a woman” and “Asians are worker bees, not someone who can drum up new deals.” She rebuilds her life by starting a new business based on the ideas she had in her old YouTube channel.
Daniel is slightly secondary to the story, a lot of the reason why he is in the story is he has a lot of business connections which help her to flourish. I would have liked more romance included, but in this case, I really enjoyed reading Jess’s comeback story. As someone who is young and still feels very lost right now, this was comforting to me. It made me feel like even if things don’t work out the way I want them to, I’ll still be okay. Maybe even better than just okay.
