| People say that affairs at work are not a good idea. Too bad Holly didn't listen. James Lawrence turns out to be a real cad but his new girlfriend is even worse. All the ups and downs of life seem to come straight to Holly's inbox at work. She and co-worker Patricia/Trish aren't supposed to talk to one another but that doesn't stop them from sharing their lives through their email. Seems like Holly couldn't begin to get any work done with the friends, family and numerous irons she's juggling needing her as the corporate world goes on around them.
Holly Denham has quite a life as her emails portray in great detail. So many great characters help make this a real joy to read. Friend Aisha Peters is a hoot as she shares her never ending exploits with the opposite sex. Jason Granger, a former co-worker at a hotel gives us the gay version of life as a friend who always has her back and offers a shoulder to lean on as she lives through the ups and downs of life. Trish, her fellow receptionist, becomes a great friend after a rocky beginning. Her family, especially brother Charley, seems to always pull at her to help them out. Her Granny is one of those ageless women who shares her secrets and her love. This book is a winner from first page to last as Holly shares a few months in her life with us via her emails. It's so easy to relate to the characters and the corporate infighting that seems to drive every kind of work place. This is one of those page turners that's hard to put down as we get involved, wishing we could shoot an email back. I hope there's another installment in the works!
