An absolutely breathtaking, fast paced, and heart wrenchingly true to life debut novel, Smile and Look Pretty is the story of four twenty something assistants just trying to get their foot in the door in their respective careers. Only instead of actual on the job training, they're subjected to being more like under paid servants. Promises of getting ahead are mever met for them, yet they watch their male peers move up the corporate ladder daily. They're also all experiencing various forms of sexual harassment. From male bosses who constantly walk around naked to some who actually physically touch them, they've finally had it. And they're going to start a revolution to help not only themselves, but every single woman who's ever been made to feel uncomfortable by a man who's in power over her. I sped through this delicious novel as fast as I could! The girls stories are truly disgusting, yet something women have to experience every single day. This is a feminist manifesto. A call to each of us to stand tall and stand together. Scream as loud as we can. Fight for what we deserve. And at the end of the day, hopefully you'll have friends there to pick you up and love you through it. Five stars isn't enough for this masterpiece of a read. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you to NetGalley, Amanda Pellegrino, and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
