If you love a romance or thrillers and want something a little different, may I suggest Anna Bright? 

Anna has failed at a startup before, but now she is the it-girl. She is the founder of a company designing an eye implant that will solve all of your daily problems, with the flick of an eyelash. 

Jamie is a reporter for an online magazine that has Anna for a speaker, when Anna doesn’t realize her mic is on, she makes some off handed statements before Jamie rescues her, removing the mic. She offers Jamie a trip on her private airplane for a coveted interview. Things don’t turn out like Jamie hopes, but she gains some different knowledge about the company.

It’s a fun read that keeps you turning pages! It also features a lot of conversations about women in management roles and how women are treated. Anna is not a fan of the girlboss term and wants to be treated like a man. Jamie wants to elevate women leaders. Interesting conversations!

“Because Anna is clearly hiding things, and I wanted to get insight for my story.”

“No one would ever accuse Anna Bright of being unable to manipulate an audience. It was like a master class in gaslighting and blaming the victims.”

“Sometimes it surprised her how calm she could be even when she was tearing someone apart.”

“Didn’t she always pick up the pieces, in this case literally and figuratively, when everything collapsed around her? Didn’t she always depend on herself when there was no one else around…”
