Not Bad For a Girl

I just finished Not bad for a girl by Anastasia Ryan @byanastasiaryan and here are my thoughts.

Indiana “Ana” Aaron is working in a man's world. She has a talent for coding but her work doesn't give her the props she deserves. When she is overlooked for a promotion in favor of a man much less qualified, she cannot keep her mouth shut. Her boss, with a bruised ego, transfers her to a team that is on the verge of being disbanded.

She knows she has to keep her mouth shut and get on with her work remotely from home and when her new boss praises her and calls her Mr. Aaron, she didn't bother to correct him. Things begin to snowball when her friends from her old department continue the ruse that she is a man and the lie builds to epic proportions. The handsome man who works with her new boss figures it out pretty quickly and helps her navigate her new role on the path to new successes.

This book was quirky, funny and so deliciously entertaining that I spent the whole afternoon reading. I loved that Ana is a tiny little warrior much like myself who uses her inside voice on the outside. Hands up to all the women that don't know when to be silent... ME! I loved how the author highlighted the difficulties and misogyny in professions deemed suitable for men only. Where women should serve coffee and be quiet. Ana found a way to prove she was as good, better even, than her male counterparts and when she finds out her new boss is as devious as a snake, she doesn't stand by and let him walk on her.
Her friends are the best. So funny and the things they get up to had me roaring out loud with laughter. I thought Shane was perfection and the thing with the fish.. So romantic! The book is really well written. Perfect pace and flow, all the characters were exceptional and well rounded. I kinda hope we get another book with these characters.
If you are looking for a cute, funny, womens fiction book, this one has to be what you reach for next.
5 stars!!!
