Just finished reading Camille Perri’s The Assistants — highly recommended! It’s Nine to Five updated and with a great moral element; better than any nonfiction book about the income inequity between the top 1% and the rest of us … With attitude, to boot! “Robert had tie-clips that cost as much as those [student loan] debts. one man’s private-jet ride to Key West was another woman’s second chance at life. …” (p219) And the sexual harassment seminar — delightful!! Tina Fontana, the heroine of this novel, is all too relatable: five-figure student loans and a low-paying job in city that costs more and more to live in. As the assistant to a wealthy media CEO (I kept thinking of Rupert Murdoch), she can see wealth and power everyday, but Tina doesn't have access. That is, until she runs into a little trouble with some expense reports and finds a way to direct some money to her own accounts. Soon, she's running a network of assistants forging expense reports and using the money to pay off their student loans. Overall, a fun read and a humorous approach to something far too many people can relate to. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This is not rocket science but it's good fun about a nerdy assistant turning into a powerful woman while finding herself in an unexpected romance.
I think this would be perfect for the beach or a plane ride. ( )
