Synopsis
From the author of the zany debut, American Idle, comes a hilarious novel about learning how to be yourself-even if it kills you.
Kirby Green didn't get to be a Vice President of Marketing by being nice. But when she fires her entire staff within a few weeks (they all deserved it, really), her new boss is hardly impressed. Wanting to prove his point, he issues a bet: If Kirby can get someone-anyone-to call her nice, she can take that long-awaited dream vacation to Italy with her best friend, Jules. If she can't, she can kiss the Coliseum goodbye. Oh, and her job too.
Now Kirby has exactly thirty days to bully someone into saying she's nice-and to show her boss who's boss. If she doesn't fall hard for him first...
Author Biography: Alesia Holliday is the author of the novel American Idle and E-Mail to the Front: One Wife's Correspondence with Her Husband Overseas. She also writes fiction for teens under her pen name, Jax Abbott.

September 11, 2007: I'm fairly new to the Chic Lit scene, and have found that the books I've picked up I devour within 2 days, unable to put them down, laughing out loud, and making all my friends read them. This book, however, took me over 2 weeks. The whole 'nice girl' theme was constantly mentioned, there isn't a part in any of the chapters/scenes that one of the 2 main characters doesn't keep mentioning her 'plight'. Not only did it seem like the author thought the reader wasn't bright enough to remember the theme ''nice'', but she also felt the need to explain a joke, or refer back to a situation that happened 2 or 3 lines ago, as if the reader might be too dim-witted to 'get it'. It was all very redundant. AND-- to make the [male] CEO of a sex-toy company too squeemish to mention the names of his products?!? Please! And poor Brianna 'the nice girl'... how can you believe that someone who thinks her jumbled thoughts out loud and stammers every time she opens her mouth, could be hired as the Assistant to a VP of a company?! The main characters were far from believable. The only thing I found clever was the author's alternating first-person point-of-view, that was different. Other than that-- Sorry, this was a real let down.
