An effortless read, Lisa Lim's She's the Boss tells the story of Karsynn Higginbotham and her run-ins with new morose boss, Carter Lockwood.  Although amusing in parts, I have to admit that the plot did not have me hooked from the outset.  I struggled to connect with the heroine of the tale and thought that a lot of her history was brushed over.  And then it hit me. She's the Boss is the sequel to Lisa Lim's Confessions of a Call Centre Gal, where many of the characters, including Karsynn, would have already been introduced.But back to the novel in hand.  Although I didn't identify as much with Karsynn, her amusing activities did leave me chuckling away to myself.  Her run in with the Lederhosen stripper and his unnatural bratwurst was highly entertaining and her description of her `burrito baby belly' left me thinking of my own food baby after a sizeable meal.  And then there is Carter Lockwood.  The masculine, brooding Darcy type takes Karsynn on a journey of both professional and personal discovery; showing her the inner workings of cut-throat business whilst taking her on an emotional rollercoaster of intimacy for the independent heroine who thinks she doesn't need a man. In Lim's She's the Boss, think Pride and Prejudice meets office politics.  For readers who have already made a connection with the characters in the first novel, Lisa Lim's sequel will take them on a new adventure with characters they already know and love.Review by Victoria Lawson on behalf of BestChickLit.com
