Cinderella and the Geek

This is a fun, light romance for the new adult reader. Alice is a young woman who is working for Harry's company as an office assistant/manager. She is innocent and secretly in love with her boss, Harry. Harry is also secretly in love with Alice, but as her employer, he does not act on it. They are both social misfits and carrying baggage that colors their relationship. While this could have been a heavy story or fleshed out more, instead its a somewhat sweet coming of age story....although, at times, I wanted to reach into my kindle and throttle the two of them for being so clueless. This novel is a great choice for the target audience - even this older grandma enjoyed it. This is a perfect selection for when you want a light read by the fire or on the beach.

A very enjoyable read! Harry & Alice are wonderfully awkwardly adorable together. The witty banter and awkward moments between the two of them had me smiling all the way through the book. The two have been lusting after each other forever and with Alice leaving for university soon, she knows it's now or never. When the perfect opportunity to spend time with Harry presents itself Alice steps up to offer Harry her help. This leads to one epic, glorious nice together. Will they find a way to make it more? I definitely recommend this one.

Harry & Alice are two young adults who awkwardly confront their feelings for each other amidst the fear of rejection for different reasons. Miscommunication and insecurity seek to interfere in their romance, stalling it before it truly begins. This is a cute, fast-paced office romance story chronicling the growing pains of young love. I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.
