Georgette Kaplan

In this rom-com, Wendy Cedar is an employee at Savin Aerospace with a massive crush on her boss, recent divorcee, Janet Lace. After Janet accidentally stumbles upon Wendy's email about a sex dream she's been having, she decides to see if the reality can live up to the fantasy. But when the relationship starts to be more than a kinky office romance, the two have to decide if they can make it as a couple or if they were better off as boss and employee.

I'm having a difficult time rating this book. This is the first book by Kaplan. Although her first book, The Ex-wives of Dracula was well rated, it being a YA novel it didn't appeal to me.

One thing I learned - sometimes staying up until 2AM finishing a book isn't a good thing. I ended up re-reading the last couple of chapters because I realized in the morning that I read it half asleep and didn't absorb what I did read.

I liked.
Wendy - Smart, funny, quick, and kind. I have a friend who is just as quick and it is awesome to witness. And enviable. I'm usually a minute too late (if ever) with a comeback. One of my favorite lines of Wendy's - "It's like porn for bees." when describing Regan's bouquet of flowers.
The dialogue. Kaplan does this so well.
Their friends - Elizabeth, Tina and Wendy's sister Regan.
Janet - I do like her. Sexy. Quick. Complicated. But she is still an enigma to me by the end of the book.

When I first started the book. I cheered when I realized that we would hear Janet's PoV along with Wendy's. I wanted to know more about her. We do get to know her, but I felt like the ending was rushed, everything was resolved on a picnic bench. I see why Wendy was attracted to Janet, I just never felt I knew why Janet really loved Wendy. Also, I would have loved to witness Janet meeting Regan and her family...

I will have to try Kaplan's first book, for the dialogue alone. I'm looking forward to her next book. a 3.5 star book. Just not good enough for my 4 star shelf.
