GRR Reviews Suddenly Susan by Virginia Gray

Susan is ready to seize life by the tail... If she can get a job at one of her dream companies after graduation from college. But it's a catch-22... Corporate American wants experienced employees, but you can't get experience if you can't get a job. There are those internships, but with almost no money to her name (she's already working 30-40 hours per week as a diner's night manager) she can't afford to "work for free". She could kinda follow her kinda-BF to Texas and get jobs together, but she swore she will never go back to the South...

Romance is rather minimal. Instead, it's chick-lit as she struggles with her hopes and dreams, waiting for letter (and hope it's not a bank overdraft notice instead) from a prospective employer, having her interview dreams dashed ("uh, but I didn't apply for an internship..."), while torturing her nemesis barista with complicated drink orders... It's quite funny. There's a little romance, as Susan is not really to go back South with her kinda BF, who's somewhere between BF and platonic. Yes, I know. He wants to be more, she won't let him. Love the humor, just beware it's not really romance.
