Today I am featuring another great romcom by Zara Stoneley: Hot Desk. It was published by One More Chapter on 31st August. I always enjoy her books and you can read my reviews of
Bridesmaids here , The Wedding Date
here, Four Christmases and a Secret here , The First Date, here and The Dog Sitter here.
Same desk, different days.
A post-it note is just the beginning…
Alice loves her job and wants to keep it – whatever the
price. But then she’s told the company is switching to flexible working and hot
desking…Alice’s desk might look a mess, but she knows exactly where everything
is. Or she did. Until she found out she’s going to share it with the most
annoying guy in the office.
Jamie can work from anywhere. He’s quite happy to sweep his
work life into a box at the end of the working day. But can sharing a desk with
Alice be as much fun as teasing her in person?
With no option but to try it and see, will their
relationship turn into open warfare or will it ever progress beyond a post-it
note?
My Thoughts
Set in a world post-pandemic, Alice finds that returning to her office brings some unwelcome surprises. This is sure to touch a nerve with those who have been working from home and there is plenty of humour to be found from Alice's attempts to work from home or hot desk it in the office. This is a fun, entertaining read which keeps you amused to the end, with some lively characters and hilarious situations.
Alice turns out to be quite a complicated character and her reasons for wanting to return to the office are caught up with how she has been treated in the past. Jamie provides a gentle humour and turns out to be quite a surprising character with issues of his own to overcome. Family and friends are key in the story and I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of Alice's roommates and her sisters. This is a book to brighten up any weekend. Written in the first person, it has the tone of the Bridget Jones Books and by the end, you are definitely on Team Alice.
In short: Fun, flirty, fabulous!
About the Author
USA Today bestselling author Zara Stoneley was born in a
small village in the UK. She wanted to be a female James Herriot, a spy, or an
author when she grew up.
After many (many) years, and many different jobs, her dream
of writing a bestseller came true, and more than half a million copies of her
books have now been sold worldwide.
She writes about friendship, dreams, love, and happy ever
afters, and hopes that her tales make you laugh a lot, cry a little, and
occasionally say 'ahhh'.
Zara now lives in a Cheshire village with her family, a
lively cockapoo, a cocker spaniel puppy and a very bossy (and slightly evil)
cat.
