Cecily has made herself indispensable at the podcast production company where she works. She's a great editor and producer, and literally wrote the book on how to save and properly access the company's audio files. She's been pitching her own ideas for podcasts for ages, and while her boss has shown some interest, there's always been one reason or another to not produce them. So when he comes to Cecily with a plan to center her on a self-help podcast with a trendy influencer, she says she'll participate but only if her newest idea can finally get produced. He agrees and suddenly Cecily finds herself the subject of Twenty Dates, a podcast in which influencer and relationship coach Eliza sets her up on, you guessed it, 20 dates, promising to find the right guy for Cecily.
There is something hard to believe about the setup of the podcast, and the fact that Cecily goes along with it (especially knowing her boss's track record with promises), as well as some of the other elements of the book that I won't spoil here. However, Cecily as a character is ridiculously relatable, as I feel like every hardworking woman has, at some time or another, been overlooked or taken for granted at a job, and can probably relate to the revelations Cecily has throughout the book. Overall, it's a good, enjoyable read, especially if you want a behind-the-scenes view of creating podcasts along with your drama.
