Title: Too Much of the Same
Review: I have to agree with a previous reviewer who described the book as a drag because it felt like the same scenario was being replayed over and over throughout the book. It seems a bit implausible that someone would put up with so much mistreatment from their boss for a whole year simply to get a recommendation. If the main character had the charm, wit, or likability of Bridget Jones, this might have worked. But the main character is not especially endearing (in fact, she's fairly pathetic)and everyone in the novel is so vapid and bitchy, the story simply wears thin after awhile. I read most of it and then just couldn't take another miserable anecdote, so I skimmed through the last chapters and read the end so I could at least enjoy the final payback. I hope the movie inserts some sweetness, humor, and romance to balance the bitter. Otherwise, it will be a dreary 2 hour experience. This book will definitely hit the resell pile at my house.
Is the review positive or negative?
