Specifically making partner within the year.
Roundly loathed by the men and longed for by the women, Jamie cares first and foremost about his job. Jamie also works for the same firm and is widely known as the office Lothario. To make matters worse, she has to continue working in the same office as Dan, where everyone can watch the public disintegration of their relationship. Until, of course, her entire life is upended with one nightmare conversation with Dan, leaving Laurie scrambling to keep her head above water and somehow try to piece together how she could have been so mistaken about her life and the people in it. She's been with Dan, the love of her life, for eighteen solid years. She's a successful attorney at a respected firm. Laurie didn't have it easy growing up, but she's made up for childhood uncertainty with nothing but rock solid stability as an adult. Readers who love Sarra Manning and Beth O'Leary's The Flatshareshould also take note.Ĭomedy was tragedy plus time, but there'd never be enough time to make this amusing. They share a business setting, two individuals who are more than they know themselves to be, and a wonderfully slow burn romance. While not perhaps as bubbly as I've Got Your Number, I would definitely recommend it to readers who enjoyed that novel. It was the perfect read for a couple of dreary, grey January days.
As though Laurie and Jamie might be the ones. Then came an offer to review her upcoming title If I Never Met You, and something about this one seemed to call out to me. I liked It's Not Me, It's Youwell enough (it's obvious she's quite a witty writer), but something about the execution felt off and I think I let that keep me from diving deeper into her backlist. It's been years since I picked up a Mhairi McFarlane novel, and I'm not really sure why that is.
