From the acclaimed author of The Assistants comes another gutsy book about the importance of women taking the reins - this time, when it comes to love, sex, and self-acceptance.

"Ocean's Eleven meets The Devil Wears Prada" (The Skimm) in this hilarious, razor-sharp debut novel about a group of overeducated and underpaid women who decide they've finally had enough... Rule #1: All important men have assistants. Rule #2: Men rule the world. Still. Rule #3: There is enough money. There is so much money. Tina Fontana is a thirty-year-old executive assistant to Robert Barlow, the CEO of Titan Corp., a multinational media conglomerate. She's excellent at her job and beloved by her famous boss--but after six years of making reservations and pouring drinks from bottles that cost more than her rent, the glamour of working for a media company in New York has completely faded, but her student loan debt has not. When a technical error with Robert's expense report presents Tina with the opportunity to pay off the entire balance of her loans with what would essentially be pocket change for her boss, she hesitates. She's always played by the rules, but this would be a life-changer. As Tina begins to fall down the rabbit hole of her morally questionable plan, other assistants with crushing debt and fewer scruples approach her to say that they want in. Before she knows it, she's at the forefront of a movement that has implications far beyond what anyone anticipated...

'Funny and clever, this is the next Devil Wears Prada' Paige ToonBehind every successful man is a busy assistant and Tinaâ??s boss is very successful. But Tina is tired of being overworked and underpaid. Then a blip in the expenses system sends Tina a cheque. Sheâ??s a good person.

Sparks do not immediately fly, but a chance meeting later that evening leads them both to Metropolis, a dimly-lit lesbian dive bar that's practically Cassidy's second home. The night offers straight-laced Katie a glimpse into a wild yet fiercely tight-knit community, one in which barrooms may as well be bedrooms, and loyal friends fill the spaces left vacant by distant families. In Katie, Cassidy discovers a chance to open her heart in new ways. Soon their undeniable chemistry will push each woman to confront what she thinks she deserves--and what she truly wants.
