Like a Boss by Anne Harper (Accidentally Viral #2)
I loved Anne Harper’s first book (Fake It Till You Make It), so I had high hopes for this one. While I still enjoyed it, it fell a little bit flat for me. This story felt like it tried to do a lot, but it did all of them half way.
Nell has just broken up with her boyfriend and lost her purse. She is filmed by two teenagers in a restaurant yelling at the host. Quinn is also at the restaurant, and invites her to share the Valentine’s day special with her since they are both alone and it is cheaper to order as a couple. At the end of the meal, they take a picture for the wall of couples, share a kiss, and then he leaves without asking for her number or anything. Nell shows up to work on Monday, and he is her new boss.
There are lots of shenanigans throughout this book which were a nice touch. I appreciated the little bit of humor it added to the story. However, this book tried to be about the video of her going viral, a single dad, an age gap, and a workplace romance. Other than the workplace romance, it felt like everything else was just thrown in to be able to say this book has that trope. The age difference is 10 years but is only mentioned twice and is not a big deal to the story. His son is sweet, but we barely hear anything about him until 40% into the book, and then only for a little bit. While I enjoyed these aspects of the story, I wanted more.
3 stars
I received this book for free in return for an honest review.
