My name is Liz Foley. I love my accounting job because I'd rather deal with numbers than talk to people. My best traits: I have (RBF) Resting Bitch Face. I give snarky come-backs. I have no friends. My worst traits: I speak in run-on sentences when I get nervous. I'm attracted to assholes. I'm broke. Enter Finnigan Walsh - the new guy at work. His best traits: He's kind of hot, I suppose. He has a working car. He sings to me and brings me coffee. Nothing ever gets to him, even when I add more people to our carpool. His worst traits: See above I don't like him. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. After all, it's not about how fast you get there. It's the journey. Right? Damn this carpool. You'd better buckle up.

Confessions of a Carpool Captive

Confessions of a carpool captive by Dawn L Chiletz is a totally brilliant five star read. I loved this book, it is a brilliantly witty and fun story. I loved the characters, Liz and Finn start carpooling together much to Liz’s disgust, she is a complete loner and basically hates having to talk to other people. Finn is a very likeable people person, the total opposite. The two are attracted to each other from the beginning but Liz tries to fight it, she then invites an unlikely trio to carpool with them, Emmerson, Kel and Ernesto, in an attempt to distance herself from Finn. They are all such different personalities they often clash. The resulting antics had me laughing out loud at times but it is not all fun and games, there is some emotional moments in there to as well as a surprise or two. 
The characters are all really believable and I loved them all. Liz is really quite unsure of herself and has a low self esteem, Her friendship with the others and her budding relationship with Finn give her so much confidence and brings out the best in her! Both personally and professionally. The five become firm friends despite their differences and are there for each other when they are needed. 
The writing is really good and the story flows wonderfully. I read this in one sitting cause I just didn't want to stop, I will most certainly be reading more from this author, this was just a fantastic read and I absolutely recommend this book- I see this as a major blockbuster romcom in the future.
