This is only my second book by this author duo and while it wasn't my favorite by them I did still enjoy it. 

We get the witty banter that I loved so much in The Unhoneymooners but it wasn't as good as it was in that book. The chemistry between Carey and James is off the charts but we don't get enough of their actual relationship in my opinion. The majority of this book is about how Carey and James pretty much have to babysit their bosses Melissa and Rusty Tripp who are married and actually hate each other at this point. Carey has worked for the Tripp's for over a decade and James has only worked for them for a couple of months and both of them feel trapped for very different reasons. 

I hated the Tripp's so much and the way they treated Carey and James. That's probably why I feel like this book was too much of them. Carey and James is what made this book for me even though like I already said we didn't get enough of their relationship. Carey needed to grow a backbone. She let the Tripp's walk all over her and that got under my skin from the very beginning. I wish she would have stood up for herself way sooner. James is very Charming. I liked how they went from disliking each other to loving each other and I loved how he pointed out things to Carey that she refused to see on her own. This also has Dystonia which I am not familiar with but I feel like it was handled really well. The ending did feel a little rushed but overall I did enjoy this book.
