Is really sad that sometimes we, women, don't stand for ourselves because of very valid and justifiable reasons, but when we do use our voices we are often dismissed or called condescending names. This book narrates the life of four women who ended up being assistants as part of what they thought was the path leading to their dream job. Unfortunately reality was different and they ended up stuck with horrible bosses and treated like servants. These four women wanted to change that, they wanted to create a safe space for other women to vent about how awful their bosses were, but without realizing they did more than that, they gave themselves a voice and an opportunity to change things.
I love their personal growth, how each one of them started to acknowledge their own worth and not letting anyone make them feel as less. Yes, it annoyed me that they didn't speak up sooner but they truly represent how is our life on a daily basis, how our work is taken for granted and how difficult is to speak up.

Similar concept to The Boys’ Club (loved) and The Whisper Network (didn’t love) in that it is about women speaking out against workplace dynamics. The Boys’ Club is by far my favorite on this topic. There were some engaging moments- it just wasn’t my favorite.

This was a really fun read, and it's always fun getting to see some comeuppance.

I liked the author's style, and I was invested in knowing what happens next. At some points, the story was a little frustrating, but the overall experience was positive

This was a good women empowerment story. It follows four women who all work as assistants in the entertainment industry. They created a blog, “Twentysomething”, where women could submit anonymous stories about the discrimination and sexual harassment that they endured at their jobs. It was little hard to keep all of the women’s stories straight. All of their storylines were all blurred together at first. It took me a while to differentiate and really enjoy each woman’s story. The topics presented are still prevalent in today’s society and the message behind the story Is powerful.

Thank you to NetGallery and to Harlequin Publishing for giving me a copy for my honest review.
