Madison Banks really doesn't have much of a life outside of work. She develops business ideas, starts them, and then they are promptly stolen by the same guy, over and over. Can that really happen? There are lots of coincidences all over this book that are a stretch, like lots of people dying (because she's in the funeral business) and sometimes will have paragraphs of details that seemed, to me, completely irrelevant. I enjoyed seeing the business process, and learning what things like "venture capitalists" really did, but overall, I think my time could have been better spent. ( )

Interesting plot. I liked reading about the business part of it and liked the idea that is presented. At times it could've been better, with more development of the male lead character, but overall I found this very interesting and at times touching. ( )
