Good-bye To All That: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In this cute tale of corporate hierarchies, failed romances, and the delicate intricacies of family relationships, the protagonist, twenty-six-year-old Raquel Azorian manages to navigate the L.A. scene in style. I loved the light and easy-going feel of the book, which make it both relatable and manageable at the same time. The writing is compelling without being redundant, and Candela does a fantastic job of creating well-rounded and captivating characters.
On the cusp of a huge (and well-deserved) promotion from her job at Belmore Corporation as a marketing executive assistant, Raquel is forced to fight for her job after her boss suffers a very public mental breakdown.
Never one to skip a beat, Raquel focuses her attention towards pulling herself out of the corporate catastrophe that could threaten her three years of hard work. At the same time, Raquel's overbearing (and insanely funny) mother, Marlene, moves in with her to reflect on her marital problems. Raquel suddenly finds herself in the midst of a work crisis, her parent's failing marriage, and her brother problems with his demanding wife.
In what can only be described as painfully hilarious, Raquel struggles to maintain her sanity as her job, her social life (or lack thereof), and her family's issues all come crashing down on her head. Other characters not mentioned above include Raquel's crazy sister-in-law, Cricket, the southern-belle turned housewife, Frappa Ivanhoe, Raquel's best friend and agent to the stars (namely anorexic sisters, Cat and Cara), and Kyle Martin, the suave and gorgeous new vice president of Belmore who seems interested in Raquel.
Overall, I would suggest Good-bye To All That to anyone looking for a quick, yet entertaining, and well-written book. If you've ever worked in an office before, you will crack up laughing at Candela's honesty and knack for recreating the trials and tribulations of office life!
