Two struggling publishing companies have merged, resulting in a two-boss leadership. Lucy is the uber-assistant to Helene, who is more book-oriented. Joshua is the capable assistant to Richard, who is more finance-oriented. Lucy and Joshua share an office where they face each other all day while they work on their projects. Lucy was ready to be friendly to Joshua, but he came across as cold to her. Their working relationship resembles an ongoing war, where at its calmest, they have staring games. At other times, they've gone to HR, where their problems are well-documented. When the bosses announce a new position of a chief operational officer, both Lucy and Joshua apply for the position.
It's a rom-com where we think we know the trajectory, but will the expected‒and unexpected‒bumps along the way bring this couple together or force one of them to quit their job? The novel was made into a movie, which seems true to the book. I enjoyed both.
