I have to say that when I saw the title of this book, I couldn’t resist! I just had to read it! I was expecting some funny office comedy but I found it to be a lot more than that.

Jolene is an office worker who is quiet with quite a baggage from her past. She has never fully recovered from a trauma that occurred years ago, so she attempts to blend in with her strange and occasionally ruthless coworkers. Her coping mechanism is adding at the end of the emails her true thoughts hidden in the white font. Unfortunately she gets caught, when after getting into a heated argument with her coworker Caitlin, she forgets to use an invisible font and HR gets involved. While setting up a device to monitor her keystrokes the IT guy unintentionally provides Jolene access to all of her coworkers' emails and direct messages. That way Jolene learns more about her coworkers and employer, and she discovers that she is the object of not only office gossip, but Caitlin's intention to get her fired.

Although I adored the office drama in this book, I found the character development to be even more delightful. The characters in Natalie Sue's work are incredibly well-developed and endearing. Even though they had all done terrible things, Sue gives them flaws and layers that made them likable.

Jolene is a really witty and realistic character. Jolene suffers at work, as you can see, even though she knows she shouldn't be doing what she is, since she is so anxious to stop feeling alone. And in the midst of it all, she understands that she isn't really alone and everyone faces some difficulties in their lives.

This book has a perfect balance of comedy, romance and some heart warming moments. And it’s hard to believe this is the debut! The writing style, the plot and characters are just so perfect! Highly recommend to everyone looking for some interesting contemporary romance, especially if you are the fan of the Office or Parks and Rec.
