Eyes aren’t the windows to the soul. Emails are.
But what happens when you can’t keep your eyes off the emails?
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie.
Cassie has slipped and fallen down the corporate ladder. She was once a prominent lawyer but well, there was a little bit of an *incident* which went viral. Now she is working a temp job in order to pay her bills. It’s a thankless job looking through email correspondence for a large fraud suit. It’s boring, boring, boring until she begins to see personal emails between a partner at the firm, Forest Watts and his wife, Annabelle. She only meant to take one itsy bitsy little look. What harm could come of it? Only one look, that’s it then she will get back to work!
Excuse me, here is your nose. I found it in my business.
But one look is all it took and now she is obsessed! She thinks she knows them. She takes steps to get close to them, to be noticed, to *gasp* dream to take Annabelle’s place! She has purpose again! She can be happy again! Life is going to change for the better, wont it? She knows them (him) so well, doesn’t she?
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie – sometimes it’s best to dream and not try to make your dreams a reality, because sometimes dreams becomes nightmares. Especially when Cassie appears to be falling apart. She drinks too much, she thinks too much, she is obsessed, delusional and then there is the incident that caused her to lose her job at her law firm.
This book started slowly for me and really ramped up around the 60% mark for me. The book is told through Cassie’s POV, and readers will know right away that something isn’t quite right with her thought processes. She thinks about the past while plotting to be Forest’s future.
This was an entertaining read, that while I enjoyed it, I don’t know if I will remember it in months to come. But I do think this would make a great airplane, sitting outside when you want to chill type of book.
