The Launch Date by Annabelle Slator was absolutely outstanding! The book follows Grace Hastings as she tries to get a work promotion while working under a terribly demanding direct supervisor who is punishing her for trying to move forward and having to partner up with her ex-friend and work rival (Eric). If that weren't enough her absolute garbage can of an ex-boyfriend is also reaching out to her, which only serves to distract her from her goals. Weirdly, the only person helping her focus on the work is Eric who is up for the same promotion. Together they are coming up with great ideas that are working together amazingly considering the incident that happened between them at the Christmas party. She insist that nothing is happening between them but isn't there?!
Ahhhh! I loved this book so much. I've been in a reading slump and decided to pick this book up and it was so freaking good. I read the whole thing in one sitting. I was literally running downstairs to update my husband on when the rivals were starting to become lovers. I haven't had this much fun with a book in a minute. I highly recommend this read as it was absolutely delightful. The one criticism that I do have is what happens during her promotion interview, I didn't like how that ended. Other than that, the book was absolutely perfect, that's why I rated it 4.75 stars out of 5.
Tropes: workplace, rivals to lovers, billionaire
Triggers: nepo baby, demanding boss, attempted DV, manipulative ex
