asashell11.12.2025, 17:22Review of the novel as part of the marathon. Caution, spoilers! Part 1. After reading the novel in full, I got the feeling that I was watching a sitcom. This is an interesting idea for writing a novel, carrying its own special emotional potential. And the reader, consciously or not, wants to return to the characters and events. Each chapter is structured in such a way that there is an introduction, a main idea, and a conclusion. Most of the events unfold in the office or at the main character’s home. I’ll note the author’s portrayal of the main characters: emotional restraint, concise dialogue without excess, which, in general, is characteristic of mature, conscious people. There won’t be any “sappy” romance or melodrama here; instead, a kind of rationality dominates. This is a motivated choice by the author, although, at times, I felt a lack of decisiveness in the main character and a bit of spark. I’ll separately highlight Lisa’s relationship with her children. It’s described very warmly, softly, and engagingly. The children became the highlight of the novel, and the idea of a family chat is even more so. Thank you to the author for weaving the family storyline into the plot so interestingly! The main character is a mature, prudent, attractive woman and mother. The author described her thoughts and psychology through the text (specifically through the lens of thoughts, not feelings). This created the impression that Lisa is quite a reserved nature. The entire narrative was sustained in this rhythm.

Review of the novel as part of the marathon. Caution, spoilers! Part 2. I liked the ending; it was interesting to reach the happiness of the main character together with them, overcoming various twists and turns and experiencing their emotions. On minor points: the dialogues in Chapter 14 were not entirely clear, I got confused with the ending of Chapter 16 and the beginning of Chapter 17, and sometimes I lost the sense of time in the novel. The situation with the changes to Lisa's files/reports repeated several times following the same logic - this slightly diminishes interest. Perhaps it was just an accidental repetition or merging of parts, which isn’t critical. However, at the same time, many chapters show a very characteristic style: overly even phrases, identical in rhythm and structure. There’s a sense of artificial smoothness and numerous comparisons, which often appear after intensive use of AI editing or language models. Because of this, the text sometimes loses natural intonations, subtle stylistic variations, and the author’s individuality, which was noticeable in your first chapters but then somehow quietly merged into a single general pattern and stopped sounding unique. It would be great to see more vivid details, your personal style, and variety even after the first chapters. The story has potential and definitely deserves its sizable audience. With respect!

antonina-sevcenko06.12.2025, 12:28Julia Vor, There is such a moment. But behind her serpentine behavior and intrigues are her childhood traumas and perfectionist syndrome. The second book of the series is written about her)

I've been reading for several chapters now, and I have a question. She writes in the family chat every evening. I understand this is some kind of tradition?
antonina-sevcenko06.12.2025, 12:26Julia Vor, Tradition))) Before bedtime, everyone has their own personal time and space. And through the chat, they sum up the day and send each other words of support).
- dzuliia-vor06.12.2025, 09:04
Overall, the text demonstrates a confident mastery of rhythm, the ability to combine everyday scenes with emotional depth, and the skill to make characters engaging from the very first page. The smoothness of the narrative, the thoughtfulness of the dialogues, the vividness of the imagery, and the light, effortless language—all of this points to a very strong authorial hand. This is the kind of story you want to believe in, characters you want to root for, and a book you want to keep reading without stopping. Wonderful work. Refined, well-thought-out, and emotionally warm. This story is a pleasure to read.
antonina-sevcenko06.12.2025, 12:24Julia Vor, Very grateful.

In the second chapter, the focus smoothly shifts to professional life and adaptation to a new environment. The contrast between Lisa's outward composure and inner anxiety, between the corporate world and her humanity, is masterfully conveyed. A particularly strong aspect is how the author shows the heroine's development not through grandiose statements, but through small reactions, unconventional thoughts, and attention to detail. Thanks to this, the character feels alive, multifaceted, and evokes genuine empathy.
antonina-sevcenko06.12.2025, 12:23Julia Vor, Thank you for your assessment of the main character and your subtle perception of her condition.
- dzuliia-vor06.12.2025, 09:01
This is an incredibly high-quality start to the story—one that immediately draws you into the world of the characters, making them feel alive and relatable. The author brilliantly works with everyday details, emotional nuances, and the inner state of the characters, creating the sensation that you're not reading a fictional story, but a fragment of real life. In Chapter 1, the subtle psychological depth is particularly striking: the morning scenes feel so familiar and candid that it's easy to recognize yourself or your friends in them. The dialogues sound natural, not forced—there’s a warmth of friendship, light humor, and even a depth that isn’t always spoken aloud. This is a strong start that immediately establishes an emotional connection with Liza.
antonina-sevcenko06.12.2025, 12:21Julia Vor, Incredibly grateful for such a detailed comment!

oksana-solovii04.12.2025, 19:48Chapters 8-10. It’s getting more and more interesting. The image of Oleksandr is gradually forming in my mind. He seems like a fairly reasonable person to me. He’s truly a professional, and even an unsuccessful first meeting and the sharp tongue of his new subordinate aren’t reasons for him to hate her from the start. I like his arguments with Liza, which border on hints of flirting. I like Liza, who approaches her work professionally and doesn’t immediately melt into a warm puddle in front of her boss. I see her as a self-sufficient woman who hasn’t lost herself in marriage and motherhood. She’s not looking for a new man to replace her ex and solve all her problems. She takes matters into her own hands. The home atmosphere is written with warmth and coziness. I think these kids, who at first glance seem so obedient, will still cause some trouble later on. From the very first page, you can tell the book is written with soul. The author gradually immerses the reader into Liza’s life, hinting that the relationship between the main characters will be interesting and spicy, and the new job for Liza might become a certain challenge, as gossip about her is spreading and will probably soon make itself felt. I’m reading on.
oksana-solovii04.12.2025, 19:55Antonina Shevchenko, I wish you inspiration in your creativity and grateful readers!

Chapters 4-7. The intrigue is gradually unfolding. I'm curious about Victoria's true goals, and Oleg clearly will play his role in the future. My first impression of Maksym was suspicion that he is deceitful. Now I'm almost certain that he will cause trouble for Liza, and perhaps not entirely painless ones. As for the children, it seemed to me that their behavior doesn't quite match the specified age, more like 6-8 years old. But that's not significant—children are different, and I can only judge based on my own experience.
antonina-sevcenko04.12.2025, 19:47Oksana Soloviy, Thank you for your time

Marathon. Chapters 1-3. I immediately liked that the main character is not a naive, innocent girl. I'm already tired of these unfortunate subordinates and domineering bosses. Here we have a mature, confident woman who lives her real life. The writing is very easy to read, the text is of good quality, and I didn’t notice any obvious mistakes. You gradually immerse yourself in the story. At the beginning, there wasn’t enough of a hook to grab the reader from the first sentences, but that’s just my personal preference. I love it when the text pulls you into intrigue right away. There was also a slight lack of description of the characters’ appearances, so I couldn’t immediately picture their images in my mind.
antonina-sevcenko04.12.2025, 19:46Oksana Soloviy, Hello! Thank you for the comment
airin-ais28.10.2025, 07:43An interesting story worth attention. The text is easy and pleasant to read, and I want to keep following the characters. Adding the book to my personal library :)

She did the right thing by rejecting Maksym! What an insolent face! And he still wants to dance — what a hypocrite! He gossips behind her back, badmouths her, and then smiles and flirts with his eyes… I don’t understand what he’s hoping for? We don’t need such “gentlemen.” Look at Sashko — now that’s someone worth paying attention to! Their dance was intimate, fiery:)) and now Oleksandr doesn’t seem so harsh... the heroine’s heart is melting.
antonina-sevcenko28.10.2025, 11:39Irene Ice, Sashko is quite the big boss)))
- airin-ais28.10.2025, 07:30
I really liked the moment in the elevator. Their glances, those verbal sparring matches, and that electric touch — everything just sparks between them. It feels like this could be the start of something more... something more interesting for both of them.
antonina-sevcenko28.10.2025, 11:39Irene Ice, Yes. Thank you very much for the comment
- airin-ais28.10.2025, 07:18
Chapter Nine. I'm a bit confused about Victoria... Maybe she really has her eye on Alexander, and she transferred Lisa to be his assistant to keep her "rival" closer? Or is it all just another fabrication by the gossipmonger Maxim, who’s always waiting for a chance to ruin the heroine’s life at the office... I don’t know... Still, I don’t understand why they gave Lisa a report with incorrect data to check. Why such "tests"? Work time could have been spent much more effectively—doing something truly important instead of fixing fake numbers. But Lisa is no pushover! She quickly figured everything out and, it seems, even got a thrill and adrenaline rush from it. Honestly, if I were in her place, I’d only feel anger and irritation:(
antonina-sevcenko28.10.2025, 11:38Irene Ice, Victoria intended to keep Lisa under control, but she turned out to be clever and didn’t let herself be manipulated.
