Synopsis

On Nami’s thirtieth birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she’d planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy.

Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he’s planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.

The real purpose of The Takeover is to show that “Bezoff vs. Musk” is an incorrect poll. They're both evil, they both only care about themselves and their money, and they both will rote in hell one day - although, my response about who's the most evil would be Musk, and not only for what he did to T......more

Goodreads review by Tea [trying(and failing) to catch up] on January 28, 2024

Imagine a 30 year old man and woman still grumbling about ”competitions” they had in high school. Center of the storyline? h’s place of work. What the h actually did there? No idea. The narrator for Nami sounded like a robot reading from a script and the narrator for Jae did a slightly better job. Jae:......more

Nami just turn 30 and instead of celebrating she’s reminded her life isn’t what she planned. Her pride and joy, the tech company she’s helped fund, is about to lose funding.
