Jenny is a PA whose boss is leaving for the West Coast and the company that she works for has just been sold to a bigger one. She and three other PAs (two from the bigger company and her and another one from her company) get thrown into a survivor sort of competition. They have a big event going on on Dec. 23rd, and, after that, Derek their boss will choose three of them to stay and one to be fired.

Olivia is one of those other PAs, and her story is the most complicated in the novel for sure. She's married, except, not so much. And, through the whole novel she also just seemed much older than Jenny. Not sure if that was on purpose or not.

Jenny and Olivia don't have the greatest start. Olivia being a bit cold and Jenny not knowing how she will fit into the new situation she finds herself in. I was a little worried that the story would stay quite antagonistic, because, at the beginning it was intensely antagonistic, but, thankfully, Brooks wrote a slow change that worked perfectly for the story (phew), and, by the end I was hating the people I was supposed to detest and liking those I was supposed to like.

I was given this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an Honest Review. ( )
