Every so often a âEurekaâ moment comes along that flicks the proverbial light switch in the human brain to the âon position.â Girl on Top is the end product of author Nicole Williams' âEurekaâ insight. Williams, after being newly-single, had a âEurekaâ moment while reading dating advice books. Her epiphany was that many of âThe Rulesâ for romantic relationships were equally applicable to the 9-5 world.

Williams declares, âDating rules turned career strategies . . . [are] everything you need to be the Girl on Top!â Each chapter explores how the identified dating rule applies to the modern day work world. Reading Girl on Top is like listening to a mash-up of the Dating Rules Hall of Fame with chapters on âTreat Him Mean, Keep Him Keen;â âDon't Giveaway the Milk For Free;â âDon't Waste the Pretty;â âPlay Hard to Get;â âBe Willing to Walk Away;â and many more.

Williams' conversational girlfriend to girlfriend delivery is smart, savvy, and witty, but also contains language that may offend some readers. Other readers may take issue with some her suggestions. Williams deflects these criticisms by summarizing Girl on Top as âan easy-to-get-your-head around way of thinking about your job, in a language that we're already familiar with, in a context that makes the mind-numbing boring theory of career a little more fun.â

Girl on Top is an entertaining tome on a serious subject!
