"Description"

"My Favourite Quotes From the Book"
“For God's sake, don't let her watch Cinderella. What kind of example is
that? A mindless twit who can't even remember where she left her damn
shoe, so she has to wait for some douchebag in tights to bring it to
her? Give me a frigging break!”

entirely sure I’d want to. The female mind is a scary place to be.”

guys fall? We go down harder. And when things go bad? When it's not us
who ends it? We don't get to walk away.
We crawl.”

"Review"
Another cute story. This book is outrageously hilarious. You will not be able to stop laughing while reading it. As Drew tells his story you will realise how sometimes we don't even know ourselves. We think that we don't need something in life and in the ends it turns out that that exact thing is what makes us the happiest. In Drew's case it was true love.
What started as professional rivalry between two colleagues, Drew and Katherine, soon turned into something more. Drew was competitive and thought that he was the best but Kate was no less, they were a perfect match but somethings are more important than winning or proving yourself to be right. Unfortunately for Drew, he figured that out a little late or may be it wasn't too late.
This book is so funny that I absolutely loved it. It is simply the best!!
