A woman in finance wishes she were a man so she could get ahead in her career, and gets her wish in this Freaky Friday/Big/13-Going on 30 mashup.
Delia has a great resume, but can't seem to get anywhere in the man's world of fiance. She wishes she were the one who commanded a room. After a drunken night with her friends, she wakes up the next day as a man. Now Delia must navigate her new world and see things from a new perspective. Can she land the big deal and finally call the shots? Will she finally gets the respect she wants? And will she ever understand if her crush likes her or not?
A funny take on gender roles and how society sees them, this is a humorous look at the world of finance, women in business and especially in male-dominated fields.
This book was painful. Delia makes it sound whether her choice is to get this job from this one firm or go home to Florida. This killed my sympathy. Then she complained about how expensive it is and could easily afford a three-bedroom house in Florida three times with what she pays in New York. Delia doesn't know anything about the current housing crisis with that typical New Yorker ignorant statement.
Then I meet Delia's friends, who are so painfully there to be her cheerleaders. Her love interest also is a flat character.
Review based on an advanced reader copy provided through Netgalley for an honest review.
From the first paragraph, I knew this book would be a good one. I immersed myself into the book from the first chapter and I cannot say enough good things about this book! Honestly amazing! The writing is incredible and the plot is just one to die for. I am absolutely obsessed with this book. My favorite part would have to be the character development throughout the book. Character development is something I look forward to and this book did not disappoint.
