The Review

This book has a story that happens during the course of 1 day!  This fast-pace, humorous book kept me giggling throughout the night.  The books that make me laugh out loud, well I just have a special place in my heart (and library) for them.  This book certainly gave me plenty to giggle about and loads to remember fondly.

Anne and Sheila discover, on the very same day that they had intended to give their resignation notices, that their boss is intending on cutting back staff.  To soften the blow, he announces that there is a HEFTY severance package just waiting for the person who will, unfortunately, lose their job at the end of the day.  What the readers know and the boss doesn’t is that Anne and Sheila have already lined up new jobs.  This severance package would just be a great nest egg to compliment their existing plans to move on.  So it begins… the war to the finish between Anne and Sheila… who can get fired first?  Their antics are the funniest part of this book and I loved them!  They were pure genius! 

For me, the romance aspect of this book wasn’t nearly as important as the race to get fired.  There was a little romance and it was fine, but for me it was secondary to the main storyline.  For anybody who’s wanted to really annoy their boss… for anybody who’s ever had it “up to here” with their job… this book is a fun read and will bring you lots of laughs. 

On Sher’s “Out of Ten Scale:”

If you read my book reviews, you may know that I am a fan of Chick Lit.   I just devour it!  This was Chick Lit with humor that really set it apart from the others for me.   I had a ton of fun with the book and really enjoyed it.  For the genre Fiction:Chick Lit, I am going to rate this book an 8.5 OUT OF 10. 

My thanks Sourcebooks for this funny read!
