Not Bad for a Girl by Anastasia Ryan
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
3.5
I think this was good as women's fiction with a romantic element, but calling it romance is really a stretch. The romance is the B plot; the workplace shenanigans are the focus.
That being said, I appreciated this as a work of feminist-lite mass media. Sending a very clear message, throughout the story, but couching it a bit so it's more palatable to the masses.
It was really funny throughout, although I wonder if that's because everything was a bit cartoonish? Like everyone was an archetype, not a complex being. But she's got good jokes!
🌶️ Level: 0 (they kiss once or twice, the end.)
This was first person POV from FMC's perspective.
