Book Description:
In her absorbing debut novel, Sheehan’s depiction of the working girl’s life in the big city is as charming as it is inspiring. Single, not yet thirty, and devoted companion to her dignified cat, Fruit Bat, Winona Bartlett is a secretary at a New York City law firm. Though she finds a certain security in the rituals of her demandingly undemanding job, Winona’s real ambition is to be a filmmaker. And her romantic life is a mess. When a new lawyer—a blind woman named Sandy Spires—joins the firm and challenges Winona to trust her own creative ideas, Winona is encouraged to try to be more than just a "non-filmmaking filmmaker." But it eventually becomes clear that the enigmatic Sandy isn’t who she said she is. After her real motives are uncovered, Winona begins to understand what it means to take risks in life and in love.

A different story, with an unpredictable plot. I really liked the way this was told, the point of view, the story itself. As a legal assistant myself, I laughed out loud at the observations the main character had. Enjoyable read.

The plot was a little predictable, but I thought the writer's style was easy and engrossing. This is a great beach book -- light, fun, entertaining.

Lara T. (I tried, but I just couldn't get into this. I made it through the first 100 pages and I just didn't feel like going any further. It just couldn't grab my attention.
Winona Bartlett is a secretary of an NYC law firm, but has dreams of being a filmmaker. Enter Sandy Spires, the gorgeous, domineering, and blind new lawyer, who inspires Winona to continue working on her film. Office romances, secret meetings, disappointments and revelations - all is not necessarily as it appears. A fun read
Very well-written fiction about a secretary/filmmaker for a NYC law firm. Winona, the protagonist, is lost but likeable at the same time. Quick, easy but interesting read.
