Review: Unbecoming Behavior

If you are looking for a novel filled with a sharp sense of humor, witty dialogue and very interesting characters, look no further – you’ve found it.

Meet Shannon McCormick, the witty and endearing main heroine. Much to the chagrin of her mother, she isn’t a lawyer, but does work at a law firm catering to the every whim of the interns. Trying to evade dismissal for the Unbecoming Behavior that the firm often let people go for, she slugs away at her thankless job, deals with rude interns, a demanding and ridiculous boss, and the knowledge that she is disappointing her mother. Her only reprieve is Van, the funny, friendly security guard in the lobby of her company’s building. Shannon knows she doesn’t want to become a lawyer, as she cannot stand them, but what other options does she have? She’s not happy in her job and she knows time is running out.

While dealing with her work issues, she is also juggling her love life. She has just broken up with long-time boyfriend Max, who can’t seem to leave her alone. Then there is Noah, her brother’s best friend who seems to be avoiding her; Blaine, the hot new guy in her office who seems to prefer her best friend Emma; and Van, who is supposed to only be her friend, but with whom she clearly has chemistry. And of course there is the ever-present Max who refuses to leave her alone.

What’s a girl to do?

I absolutely adored this book. With an endearing and quirky cast of characters, a plot that keeps you on your toes, and wonderful writing, it is a great chick lit read. I loved how the characters were all realistic and lifelike. Stephanie Rowe has done a fantastic job with balancing fun, romance, friendship, and career angst in this novel.

Overall I highly recommend this book to all chick lit fans. You will laugh, you will sigh, and you will smile while reading it. Don’t even think about missing this one.
