Just Silly
Perhaps because I'm a grown-up I had to stop at 47%. This passage was the last straw: "And I knew I'd taken this too far. I was her boss, and I'd just demanded to see her underwear. I was fondling it." Ya think? Early on I had intimations of rocky reading ahead when our heroine, newly hired personal assistant Charlotte, cheerily remarks to her new boss: "You know I'm naked under here. But that doesn't mean I have to show you my breasts." One awkwardly contrived situation after another spotlights the couple's mutual lust; situations which, in the real world, would've earned Reed a sexual harassment conviction and gotten Charlotte fired for inappropriate behavior. He manages his pain over his ex-fiancee's betrayal by treating his assistant like excrement and Charlotte takes it and bounces back, so I guess they're made for each other. Come on, people, surely we can do better than this.
