The challenge women have trying to juggle between home and work is a never-ending story. I will gladly pick up this read. Thanks for your review!

Based on the review, the novel sounds interesting with a strong and creative plot. As an intelligent and strong woman coping with a compelling career and personal issues, CJ seems to be an engaging character. Regrettably, profanity and detailed sex do not appeal to me. Thank you for the excellent review.

Looks like a good book to read I'm going for it right now!

The subject matter of this book is doesn't speak to me on any level. I read description in review and it seems so mundane and ordinary that you can see it happening to anyone around you. I am sorry, but I don't have habit to look into private family business and as such will have to pass it.

Finding and maintaining the right work-life balance is challenging for anyone, especially for someone with as much on their plate as CJ. She seems like a very strong and likable character. Thanks for the fabulous review!

Work-life balance as in this case career and marriage setting is a tough one in reality. So I can imagine CJ's struggle in The Assignment. Your review made it is easy for me to picture her dilemma. I will be reading this book soon as character-driven books are my spec. Thanks Stephanie.

A very strangely interesting book. Reading the free sample actually got me curious, even though I usually only read fantastical books. A character-driven story lives on its characters, and judging by your review, it succeeded!

Thank you for the review!

A lovely carved out story with a well developed character. CJ's character shows how we can be good at most things but still lack one single important knowledge. Thanks for this review. .

I love books with good characters. CJ seems to have a lot on her plate with her husband's behavior and her career. I would love to read this book to see how it turns out. Thanks for your wonderful review, as always!

The Assignment sounds like such an intricate yet amazing. I love books that are character- driven and this one sees to be exactly that! Also the protagonist sounds like a very realistic and fascinating character, making the story all the more interesting. I'll definitely make time to read this!

Thanks for your review. This sounds like a very intense book that displays the tension in the main character’s marriage very well. Thanks for the warning about explicit sex scenes.

I'm a bit curious about this book, but my curiosity isn't piqued enough to put this book on my to-be-read shelf at this time. I'll probably set it aside to check it out at a later time and read a few chapters to see where the book takes me. Thank you for the review.

A book about choices and professional integrity seems to be interesting.

Thank you for the great review.

The speech is hilarious, unexpected but what a way to divert from the boring norm all the while remaining educative!!

I always enjoy your reviews, Stephanie Elizabeth. They're always so well-written and your analysis clear and enjoyable. This isn't what I normally read, but it sounds intriguing. Just curious, though: did you find the ending satisfying? I'm a sucker for happy endings and, quite frankly, I'm not sure how this can have one especially if CJ is, as you say, so "clueless" about interpersonal relationships.
