The concept of this novel seemed very positive, but the execution was uneven in terms of pacing and character development. The conflict seemed manufactured, and the chemistry between the leads was more exposition than action. I'm not sure that the author had a solid handle on everything she wanted to do with this story, and the result is a feeling of precarity as a reading experience.

A compelling, fun to read contemporary romance set in a publishing company, and inspired by Greek mythology (though without fantastical elements). I enjoyed the smart character interactions, the intersecting plots that added depth while still remaining a fun and light read, and that people actually _talked to each other_ and (usually) did competent adult things like "we should follow the HR policy on this".
