A hilarious debut novel about life, love, and the pursuit of leisure  Jane Cooper is a different kind of New York woman. Charmingly unambitious in workaholic New York City, Jane believes that until corporate life was unfairly glamorized in “propaganda” films of the 1980s such as Working Girl, there were more people like her: connoisseurs of leisure. Still, a girl does have to pay the rent, so Jane finds a corporate job that supports her lifestyle. Unaware that her cute, hipster boss Ray just put his neck on the line to keep her from being fired, she and her best friend, Rebecka, take off on possibly the worst timed vacation. When Jane finds out that her commitment to slacking may be causing real world problems, she springs into action, putting even Joan Collins’s character in Dynasty to shame to save her job, her company, her friendship, and her heart. Fun, edgy, and starring an irresistible heroine, this is a book for every working girl (and slacker) who has ever wanted to step outside the corporate box.… (meer)

Have to admit that I liked this book. It did drag in a couple of places but most of all a nice read overall. It turns out to be a love story/chick lit book in the end. It also got to where you could see that everything was going to turn out well in the end but it came up as to how the author was going to pull it all together. Jane, the lead character, likes her leisure time and the book makes fun references to 1980's TV as well as cinema, aka Dynasty, Falcon Crest as well as Working Girl. As another reviewer put it a nice piece of fluff. ( )

Jane Cooper likes her leisure, but also likes material comforts and this means she needs to work. Ideally, in a job that allows her as much leisure as possible. In a new position as "relationship manager" for an investment firm, she tries to make it work in the face of corporate politics, a cute boss, and a meddling receptionist. I loved Jane's humor and irreverence, but her attitude (as well as what seemed like a - ick! - drinking problem) would make her a less-than-ideal employee in real life. Fun read, though. ( )

I wanted to like this book, but it just ended up missing all of my expectations by a long shot. Light entertainment, very fluffy read. ( )
