Review: A Day at the Office

A Day at the Office by Matt Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Day At The Office is a must read for anyone who has worked in an office and had a crush on a co-worker, and let's face it, who hasn't at some point or another!!!!

Valentine's Day is the day that most couples look forward to, and most singleton's dread, and it's no different for a group of workers at the Seek Software Office in London. Can a stolen kiss at the Christmas party progress to more, can a crush turn into a date? Cards and mysterious presents are exchanged during the day and the outcome? Well, you'll have to read it and find out for yourself!!

It has laugh out loud moments, and if I'm brutally honest, a few moments when I guessed what was going to happen next, but the characters are adorable and so realistic. I wanted to hug Callum for being so insecure about his height, slap Nathan across the back of the head for lingering over a lost love, and I wanted to sit down over a glass of wine with Julie and have a heart-to-heart girlie chat.

A really lovely read and it comes highly recommended.

I just have one question...do they need an Admin Assistant at Seek Software, because my CV is ready and I want to go and work with these people!!!

Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington

Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down! Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels. Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!
