"You're ridiculous. Get off my desk before you give it gonorrhea." -Lil Evans (Coworkers and Other Dangerous Creatures)Lil Evans works in customer service manning the phones. She's twenty-six and already feels washed up and trapped in her job. Her office is inhabited by a group of crazy people all with their own problems and drama. Running late to work one day she accidentally mows down Colin, the new Vice President. Having dated a decently long parade of losers already, Lil's more than a little concerned with Colin's perceived perfection. Not to worry Lil, a wrench gets thrown in the mix before long.This book is awesome! Each chapter starts with an employee evaluation of a phone call an employee is judged on and they are hilarious. I almost wanted to skip chapters just to read all the evaluations! Lil's personality, quick wit and smart mouth are all winners for me, I just loved the girl. Colin was a sweet guy and the romance was cute but it wasn't the star of this book. The co-workers stole the spotlight here, their antics and drama kept the laughs coming. I really loved all the different personalities and the clashes. This would make a great ensemble TV show on a cable network.*Strong language and naughty bits are included.
