An age-gap office romance, featuring an icy advertising boss falling for her intern despite her best intentions. Both love interests are dealing with their complicated feelings regarding their parents' cancer (his mother, deceased; her mother, recently diagnosed). Corinne is also being sexually-harrassed by her boss and other colleagues, and she thinks Wesley is laughing about another intern calling her a c*nt on their very first meeting on an elevator ride up to the office.

While wildly sexy, and with amazing writing, I felt the swing from Corinne being scared and intimidated by her sleazy boss to her having sex on her desk with her intern very jarring.

What is handled magnificently is the complications of grief, and how each of the characters talks and feels about their loved ones and cancer. Having lost my own father to cancer, these emotions hit true (and I was in a good place when reading this book and was glad to have this knowledge before diving in).
