The Do-Over

About the Book: 

Thea Rogers has dedicated her life to her career in corporate law. Apart from her colleague and long-time friend-with-benefits Alasdair, she’s forgone friendships and relationships, and now she’s on track to become her firm’s youngest ever female partner. She should be ecstatic. But when a senior partner dies unexpectedly, Thea realises the people at his funeral are only there out of duty. Suddenly, Thea can’t shake the question: if she disappeared tomorrow, would anyone care?

As the life choices she's made suddenly make less and less sense, Thea is forced to make a decision. Stick with the original plan or take a completely different path.

Thea has a chance to do it right this time, and fill her world with the things that matter. But can people really change? And once life starts looking up, why does it feel like there’s something… or someone she can’t seem to replace?

My Review:

The Do-Over follows Thea Rogers, on track to become her law firm's youngest female partner. While advancing her law career, Thea has cut herself off from family, friends, or any romantic entanglements. She reevaluates her life, however, following the unexpected death of one of the current senior partners.

This is truly a story of self-discovery. I feel for Thea. Working hard at the expense of having a life leads to nothing but burn-out and loneliness. The Do-Over is less a romantic comedy and more women's fiction about self-realization, new journeys, and attaining what you truly want in life, including the importance of having female friends.

I enjoyed The Do-Over. The book kept me interested and engaged with colorful characters, a smidge of romance, and watching a woman take charge of her life. The setting was great and I loved watching Thea take care of business - by making herself the priority. 

I was provided a copy of the book.
