I just yelled at my visiting mom, because she interrupted me reading the last few paperless pages of this and I was dying to know what happened. Now I do, and all I want is to start The Girlfriend, but, sigh, I must go be social. I absolutely love this book and Sophie and Neil. My poor brain is truly like a sieve and I forget books almost immediately, but I very much hope I remember this one...it's so well-written!

And I read that this book is really the anti-Fifty Shades? Well, whether it is or not, I absolutely loved it! Sophie reminds me so much of me when I was her age, and I feel for her. She will find her way, though, as I eventually did. :)

31.0% "Hmm...I can't quite put my finger on it, but this book is just not doing it for me. I'm not connecting with either of the lead characters. I'm tempted to abandon it when there are so many other books I really want to read. We'll see..."

34.0% "I absolutely love this book and this couple, Sophie and Neil. He's a responsible Dom and I'm surprised at how attractive that is. He enjoys the consensual aspect of his D/s relationship with Sophie and doesn't want to beat the shit out of and mind fuck her like many controlling Doms I've read about. This allows for laughter and tenderness to exist between them and its very refreshing to read."

Anyway, things are getting interesting and I'm seriously bummed I read the description of The Girlfriend before I finished this. Don't you dare if you want to be surprised."

73.0% "I'm still enjoying The Boss immensely, but I have to say I'm completely preoccupied with the fact that I KNOW who's going to happen after STUPIDLY reading the description of The Girlfriend. It's kind of, sort of spoiled the story for me, so heed my warning and don't spoil the story for yourself."

PJ Ha! I just read my previous update and am rolling my eyes at my sudden turnaround. Perhaps it's because I just read a very intense book and this is a nice change of pace. Perhaps it's because I started from scratch and reread the book and appreciate more Sophie's obsessive, quirky personality and Neil as the cool, older man finding themselves in an odd, second chance love affair.
