"Delightful chick lit"
In Colorado, Rette has many regrets to including trying to
killing herself in school to gain high grades and being
overweight. She needs a job and hopes to score one as a
copy editor at McKenna Marketing. Her live-in boyfriend
Greg and she plan to wed soon. Rette's sister Jen hates her job at McKenna Marketing and
barely does enough to keep from being fired. She is
beautiful and quite a male magnet, but broke up with her
boyfriend for the fifth and she insists last time. She is
desperate enough to keep having her computer break down so
the IT repair hunk that she desires shows up to fix it. Rette's best friend and neighbor Avery looks for love over
the Internet personnel pages with her current interest
being some cyberspace stud (she hopes he is a heterosexual
male her age) ArtLover. Though brilliant, hard working,
and productive, she is frustrated with McKenna Marketing
for bypassing her for promotion for a bozo who fails to
come close to her performance. WHO YOU KNOW is a delightful chick lit that is at its best
when the Office Space like activity occurs in the business
environs. The tale is solid, but not as strong when the
plot ventures into the love lives of the trio. The key
threesome seems real as they seek love in their personal
lives and survival in their professional lives. Harriet Klausner
