CJ McCarter sounds like many other women I know. Killing it professionally and unraveling on the home front. A terrible situation for anyone to find themselves in. I'd love to see how CJ and Trey end up.

I love how the character grows and gets transformed in this book. Making a balance between career and marriage and other things can really be tedious. I will love to read this. Nice Review.

This is just in time for me to devour. I just got out from an epic fantasy and in need of this contemporary drama. Thank you for this thorough review. You have given me all the tools to make an informed decision.

Striking a balance between work and relationship is vital for any marriage to survive. Again, the way we handle dissatisfaction in marriage determines the solution we get. I think CJ giving herself to her work was a wrong move to make. However, that was her choice essentially.

This book brings to the fore a pertinent issue wrecking marriages today: negligence. This could be on the part of any of the couple. It's a dicey situation for CJ and Trey. I hope they fix things up in the end.

I am very intrigued by CJ’s story as she navigates her failing marriage and her booming work life.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

I think I can partly relate to this. I struggle with balancing my career and my filial obligations. I added this in my to-read list!

Well! This sounds like a book right up my alley! I really want to meet CJ and watch her evolve in her relationships with men. All too often, powerful career women find it hard to balance out their professional and personal lives, thus I believe this book uses CJ to help strike that balance. I want to see how Trey and CJ's marriage pans out in the end. Thanks for this beautiful review.

I’m not much into stories about relationships going wrong and infidelity, so I’m going to be passing on this one. The admin side of University life sounds rather dry.

CJ seems to be an interesting woman. But the overall premise is not something I believe I will enjoy reading. Thanks for a neat review.

I love it I love it! The Assignment relates so much to a real life situation. A lot of people tend to immerse themselves into their career, their commitment at church or the community and forget about their family. Hence, so much divorce rate.

I love character-driven stories, and the strain that commitments like careers can put on relationships is certainly relatable. Still, I’m not really in the mood for stories involving infidelity or possible infidelity at the moment. It sounds like it could be an interesting read; I would just have to be in the right mood for it. Thank you for the helpful review.
