The book started out on a good note. It was enjoyable & had some great humor. Here are my favorite quotes from the book:"I didn't want to get along with him at all. I wanted my promotion. I'd earned it." This was Jill being disgusted at Stan's nephew Ryan stealing her job after Charlie retired."Love is an abstract feeling used by romance writers to sell books." I loved the conversation Ryan was having with Jill on love. This line made me laugh out loud."PML" meaning of pre-midlife. According to Jill's friend Sarah."Sweet dreams, buttercup. I'll be thinking of you. Me too, I typed back, and meant it." Such cute texting between Ryan & JillI did enjoy the story at first. However, I felt as it went along the repetition & Jill being so whiney all the time made me start to dislike her. Ryan was always going out of his way to do anything for her. I know her promotion was stolen from her but she blamed Ryan over & over & it annoyed me. I just felt like Jill was being a spoiled brat. I love strong characters & it wasn't until the end that Jill finally grew up a bit.This is the first book I have read by Susan Hatler. I did give this a low rating but that doesn't mean at all I don't like the writer. I will try to read other books by this author. I do believe the book had good points. I just needed more to give a better rating.
