Not sure what I think of this one really. It's a short read. I started and finished it whilst on the treadmill in half an hour. I like that it's tackling a serious topic and therefore is not a piece of fluff. Most of us women have dealt with sexual harassment, and we think we have it bad now, but imagine what it was like in the sixties when we didn't even have the EPA laws."You're smart for a woman" and "This is good pay for a woman. You better work for it" crap was common back then.The writing is juvenile, simple. Not horrid; I just didn't feel this was coming from a very experience writer. It head hops. This didn't bother me, but some people will find it irritating. But head hopping is a relatively new thing. Pick up any book from the nineties, a mmp even, and you'll find it head hops.But I digress. I was curious how this woman was going to handle her situation. When I first downloaded this story there were a lot of rave reviews about  the ending... Honestly, the ending wasn't cool to me. I realize desperate times call for desperate measures and there wasn't many options for her, but we women have a hard enough time getting people to take us seriously when we claim something-I-won't-name-'cause-it's-a-spoiler for real. Kinda ruined it for me.
