(Not) The Boss of Me by Kenzie Reed
A-hole Boss Alert!
There are some really good/funny parts in this book! First I’ll do a quick re-cap, then I’ll share my two cents 😉
Quick re-cap:
Winona is a fierce southern bell who starts a war with Blake over starting construction too early in the morning. Their high emotions turn into a mini feud that involves some interesting pranks.
Little does Winona know that Blake is the CEO and owner of Hudson’s; a high end store where Winona desperately wants to work.
Winona scores a job at Hudson’s, but when Blake finds out, he makes her job miserable. He even changes her position to his admin and gives her impossible tasks.
Of course, their anger and frustration is covering for their real feelings. Soon they give into their romantic feelings that leads to more 🥰
My two cents:
I whole heartedly give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the southernisms, Winona’s family, and the Kitchen Krew. All of these gave the book great heart.
I struggled with Blake a little bit. He seems like the type of guy who would make a decision and keep it, but he hemmed and hawed over the relationship with Winona for a long time. Then he went back on his decision a few times.
He was also a jerk to everyone and thought he could throw money at any problem to make it go away. Yet he is able to turn it around and become a decent human being by the end of the book. I didn’t feel that was realistic.
Besides Blake, I had issues with all the lies revealed at the end of the book. And Blake forgives and overcomes them in the blink of an eye. He’s a better human than me.
There were a few sex scenes. Hmmm…I don’t remember them well. So, they were mediocre and/or too few.
Overall, the book was okay. There was a lot of really great comedic moments. However, it had an interesting mix of seeming too long, but not long enough. I wanted an epilogue or a little bit more at the end and less stuff in the middle.
I’ll leave this decision in your hands. I would probably read this again. So, I recommend reading it if it sounds like a book you might like. Happy reading y’all!!
