Sinossi
Sloane, Ardie, Grace e Rosalita lavorano da anni alla Truviv, marchio di abbigliamento sportivo con sede a Dallas, e con molte delle loro colleghe hanno due cose in comune: sono madri lavoratrici e si muovono al di qua di una linea invisibile che le separa dai collaboratori uomini, nell’ombra del loro prepotente superiore Ames Garrett. Quando il CEO della Truviv muore improvvisamente e loro scoprono che la persona più vicina ad assumere il controllo del ruolo vacante è proprio Ames – che ha appena assunto una nuova ragazza, giovane, bella e single – capiscono che è arrivato il momento di fare qualcosa. Troppo a lungo, infatti, ci sono stati solo sussurri, bisbigli messi ripetutamente a tacere, ignorati o nascosti dai complici. Sloane, avvocato dell’azienda, convince le altre a fare qualcosa. Qualcosa di apparentemente innocuo, qualcosa che sembra un sussurro ma presto diventa un grido. La loro decisione metterà in moto una serie di catastrofici eventi all’interno dell’ufficio: le bugie saranno scoperte, i segreti verranno rivelati. E non tutti sopravvivranno. Le vite delle quattro protagoniste e delle persone a loro vicine – altre donne, colleghi, mogli, amici e persino avversari – cambieranno drasticamente di conseguenza.

2.75 stars. The idea was there, but ultimately, the execution was not. I tried really hard to like this book, especially since it should have been perfectly designed for me. I work in a male dominated corporate environment and my major in college saw me as 1 of 2 females in a class of 40-50 young men Leggi tutto
Why did so many people like this novel? I did not care about these characters at all, around page 100 I had to skip to the end to see where the plot was going. It was like slogging through mud to get to the end. UGH!
