An interesting story which is all too real.
Many thanks to Greenleaf Book Group and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I did not finish this book. I thought I would enjoy the story but it never grabbed my attention so I turned to other books at the time.

Within the story, the situations are similar to many other stories and the characters not the most loveable. The backstory is interesting...the retail world, but the author really does not make the parts of the story work, for me. It is an easy read that will give you glimpses into the glamour of business and power, but is really not one I would recommend if you only have time for one book to read. However, I have passed it on and many thought it quite enjoyable. The emphasis is on the worst traits of the human condition just for shock value.

I really enjoyed this book, at first, it sounded fantastic, then it was a little slow in the beginning. Gave it a chance and ended up loving it by the end. Toward the end, I didn't want it to end. Love the authors writing style and the characters.

If you are going to read this book and not be lost, you will need a some knowledge about leveraged buyouts, hostile takeovers, and how the retail business works at the top levels of management. I have no clue about any of this so needless to say it was hard for me to follow this story.

I was also confused when the author would use different names for the characters than what we had originally knows them as. I could follow along with the three females that we get to know because I knew what was going on with each of them and each was different. This story has a good idea going, I just think that the business lingo is way above my head. This focuses on a department store in the 1980's and what goes on with its business side.

I am anxious to see what happens in the next books from this author. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with them! I did like the characters that Darlene Quinn introduced us to in this story!
