Accidentally Working Class by Karly Lane

 





Synopsis:



Socialite Quinn Appleton knows how to live life—at full speed and with no limits. She has the perfect life, an amazing boyfriend, friends by the bucketload and an eye for fashion. Life is good.

The Appletons are a household name, their eponymous biscuit empire having been in the family for over one hundred and fifty years, making them one of the country’s richest families. They are no strangers to controversy either, constantly gracing the covers of gossip magazines, caught in compromising positions at outrageous parties.

But CEO and matriarch Lady Elizabeth Appleton has had enough. Tired of her children and grandchildren not pulling their weight and dragging the once respectable Appleton name through the mud, she decides to cut them all off financially.

With her life in ruins, Quinn is just one Jimmy Choo heel away from living in a cardboard box when Gran gives her an ultimatum: take a job at the company for six months and her trust fund will be reinstated. The catch? She must do it under a false identity and work her way up—no one can know she’s an Appleton.

Surely it can’t be that hard to hold down a lousy job? After all, millions of other people seem to do it. But Quinn is about to learn just how different the world is when you find yourself suddenly working class.

Review:


Accidentally Working Class was a delightful, funny rom com with a sprinkle of suspense.

Quinn Appleton finds herself into her kind of hell when her grandmother cuts her and her family funds, she loses her boyfriend, friend and apartment in the blink of an eye.
She accepts to work for the family's company in order to reclaim her trust fund, but Quinn will soon figure out that it won't be so simple.

I liked Quinn, maybe not at the beginning when she was entitled but I completely re-evaluated seeing her work hard and fight for her colleagues.

It was the first time I've read a Karly Lane book and I've really enjoyed this story. The writing, the storyline and the charaters were captivating and enterteining.
I adored the movie feels I got reading this novel. Highly recommended.
