<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> <i>The Unhoneymooners <i>meets <i>The Hating Game<i> in this whip-smart romantic comedy about a marketing manager who's forced to go on a cruise with her arch-nemesis when they're up for the same promotion. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><i>The Unhoneymooners</i> meets <i>The Hating Game</i> in this witty, clever, and swoonworthy novel following a workaholic marketing manager who is forced to go on a cruise with her arch-nemesis when they're up for the same promotion.</b> <p/>Between taking night classes for her MBA and her demanding day job at a cruise line, marketing manager Henley Evans barely has time for herself, let alone family, friends, or dating. But when she's shortlisted for the promotion of her dreams, all her sacrifices finally seem worth it. <p/>The only problem? Graeme Crawford-Collins, the remote social media manager and the bane of her existence, is also up for the position. Although they've never met in person, their epic email battles are the stuff of office legend. <p/>Their boss tasks each of them with drafting a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galápagos--best proposal wins the promotion. There's just one catch: they have to go on a company cruise to the Galápagos Islands...together. But when the two meet on the ship, Henley is shocked to discover that the real Graeme is nothing like she imagined. As they explore the Islands together, she soon finds the line between loathing and liking thinner than a postcard. <p/>With her career dreams in her sights and a growing attraction to the competition, Henley begins questioning her life choices. Because what's the point of working all the time if you never actually live? <p/>Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne, <i>Shipped </i>is a fresh and engaging rom-com that celebrates the power of second chances and the magic of new beginnings. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "[An] absolutely sparking debut...<i>Shipped </i>is a divine enemies-to-lovers tale set against the backdrop of snorkeling with sea lions and hikes ending in breathtaking ocean vistas...It's as sunny and inviting as its tropical vacation setting, one of those books that makes the heart swell with joy.
