lighthearted reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

In this book, we follow Reese and Thomas, who work at Mercer Corp, which is Thomas's dad's company. Thomas has been the poster boy for years. However, a situation has arisen where he now needs to get more hands-on with the company and learn more of the inner workings. So, now he's heading to the robotics division of the company. Enter Reese, who works in the robotics division and is there to teach him the ropes. Their first meeting made me laugh out loud. My favourite character in this book has to be K-2p, the AI bot. He's so funny and snarky.

Reese represents many women in the workplace. She’s a woman in a STEM field, a boss at a young age, excelling. Yet, when certain men don’t get what they think they deserve from her, they try to tear her down and smear her reputation. Despite this, she doesn’t let that stop her and continues doing what she loves. She embodies the strength of many women perfectly.

Thomas, on the other hand, is (at first) a classic nepotism beneficiary being handed his career on a silver platter. He’s the opposite of Reese in so many ways. However, in the end, he surprises you in many good ways that you must read to find out.
