OFFICE MATE
Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: April 16
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a standalone office RomCom about what happens when the one you walked away from was now not only your boss but also your new partner in a high-stakes office game...
I liked to think things happened in threes:
1. My girlfriend ghosted me and changed her number.
2. I got promoted, but I worked for Satan.
3. Months later, said girlfriend was back in my life, working underneath me as an intern.
Ah, the universe had jokes, ha, ha, hilarious.
All I had to do was survive the fourth annual Emory Games, a ridiculous office bonding game that Max Emory, our CEO, put on every year to help boost company morale and encourage the new interns.
Yeah, just ask me if they felt encouraged after diving into shark-infested waters. Don't worry... only one person got hurt, and the accidental death paperwork was sound.
I had to work with her as my partner for a full week, and then I could bounce back to my department, pretend that she hadn't broken my heart, and run me over with my own truck for good measure.
I should have been focused on the games, except again, things happened in threes...
1. She's my partner.
2. She's hiding something.
3. I may have fallen on her and kissed her. It's a thing, it actually happens in real life—people just fall, and mouths meet, and what are you going to do?
Hi, my name is Ace Harley, and I am two point five seconds away from marching down to HR and begging for therapy.
Being an adult sucks balls.

Ace has been heartbroken since Bri left him. Imagine his surprise when she shows up as a intern candidate at his job. And how they're paired together to compete in a company hunger games type of competition.
Bri has always regretted the way she left Ace. In their time apart she worked on herself and has grown significantly. Being thrown together with Ace has brought all of her feeling back to the surface. She never stopped loving him.
So what happens? You'll want to one click to find out.
Ace and Bri broke up awhile ago and haven't spoken since. When Bri turns up as an intern in his company's Hunger Games like competition, sparks fly. Can they get over their past?
This story seemed rushed and all over the place. RVD's stories are usually more together and engaging. Some of it seemed just.... Weird. This story was very short and easy to read, though. There wasn't a huge conflict to overcome, so it seemed a little flat.
This was a fun, quick read with all the fun, laughter, tears, and romance this author is known for. I sympathized with Bri and her reasons for doing what she did, but I felt so bad and was rooting for Ace who was left in the dark all that time ago.
I enjoyed reading their story as they played the office games, spent that much-needed time together to uncover the truths and reasonings of the past (Ace got his answers), shared their hearts, and got their second chance.
Another great story from this author. You need to one-click this one!
