This book was written and released ages ago and has since been taken off shelves. It was insanely hard for me to find copies in thrift stores let alone out in the wild at a library. HOWEVER, it is one of the first rom-com books I ever read and it delights me to no end to read and re-read it every single year! The blurbs I found online about it don't do it justice and I'm here to tell you about it!
Okay so our girl Molly is down to her last buck. She fell on some hard times when her ex-boyfriend literally cleaned her out and so she is living hard paycheck to paycheck and just hoping for a bonus. She works as a secretary for an up and coming tech company (think Instagram early days) and she does her job well, but she's very worried about what people think so she has an elaborate system of stretching her buck to make her clothes not give her away. When you work with wealthy people, you gotta embody the attitude and Molly does her best. Molly gets evicted (thanks to her stupid ex) and has enough money to rent a box truck and put all her belongings inside. It's an insane balancing act that she has trying to work hard and keep up appearances and yet not spend more than she can make.
Kyle is out super handsome tech genius and head of the company. He and his best friends started the company and they are so close to selling off a big idea of theirs that they are developing, however there is some shady stuff underfoot. Someone is committing corporate espionage and trying to throw them under the bus before they make the big payday. Is it his head of security that can't keep his hands off any female he passes? Is it his head of development that is rumored to be looking to leave and start her own company? Is it the person who is rumored to have written a tell-all book about him behind his back? Or could it be the beautiful but slightly shifty secretary that he wants? The suspicion is high with Kyle and while he finds himself falling for Molly, he can't help worry that she's the one stabbing him in the back.
The romance between Kyle and Molly has the grumpy/sunshine and enemies to lovers.
In true rom-com fashion there are so many miscommunications and crossed signals. It's such a delightful read and the ending...oh the ending is SO GOOD!!
I would definitely recommend it as a read if you can find it. I would love to see it re-edited and revamped for the more modern age, but I really love it as is.
10/10
