After losing her job and learning her sister is engaged to the worst man alive, Annie needs a win. Thanks to her best friend and her own inability to take no for an answer, she manages to talk her way into an opening on another team working on data strategy - whatever that means. So what if she doesn't know how to write code? How hard can it be? Surely Connor - the team's overworked, aggravating, and distractingly hot leader - will soon realise how capable Annie is and be delighted to have her on board.
Annie sets her sights on nailing it at her new job... even if it means ignoring the chemistry building between her and Connor. Also on her to do list is trying to (gently! supportively!) convince her sister to reconsider her engagement, not to mention trying to figure out why her roommate and best friend are acting weird. But with sparks flying at work and at home, she begins to see how complicated taking matters into her own hands can be.
Annie thinks she knows it all, but does she really know everything?
What did I think?
What a fantastic debut novel - I absolutely loved Annie Knows Everything because of course Annie doesn't actually know everything.
It's often said that people who think they know everything are dangerous and that is very much the case with Annie. Her heart might be in the right place but she doesn't always engage her brain, even though she thinks she knows best. Even though she sometimes made me furious at her thoughtless actions, I really did love her.
There's quite a lot going on in the book so I was entertained from start to finish. Annie's personal life is as eventful as her work life; her sister isn't speaking to her and she's about to lose her job unless she can transfer to a role for which she has zero knowledge or skill. It helps when your friend is in charge of HR of course and, wildly inappropriate though it might be for HR to show such a lack of impartiality, it is very funny to see Annie blag her way into the job.
I loved the banter between Annie and her colleagues and her blossoming relationship with Connor is very sweet. I think the fact that Annie makes so many mistakes (even though she doesn't think she is doing so) makes her so much more relatable, realistic and downright loveable.
Funny, heartwarming and captivating, Annie Knows Everything is a fabulous romcom that is just begging to made into a film. I really hope it gets picked up and ends up on the big screen as it would be amazing to see. A highly recommended read.
