New Release + Review: Overachiever by S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28

It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.

If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Remee and Owen are friends that live life somewhat differently. Remee has goals. She knows what she wants, she knows what she has to do to get there, and she doesn't allow anything to get in her way. Owen is bubbly, funny, and is still undecided with what he wants to do with his life. 

They are set to spend the summer together away from the rest of their friends where they start a summer fling that is packed full of hilarious moments.

It's only when everything that Remee has ever focused on is in jeopardy do things go south. 

There were so many laugh out loud moments.   Billie Eilish's Bad Guy will NEVER be the same! 

The humor, the embarrassing moments, all the things that made me smile or laugh were where I enjoyed this story the most. When it wasn't funny though, I didn't feel as connected to the story. The drama portion didn't hold me captive like I wanted.
