When MC was talking to Holly at the diner, MC said that Holly's book is more important to her than the company she works for. I know that was supposed to be something positive about dedication and loyalty or something to Holly...but that just struck me as yet another example of how completely unprofessional she is. If she can't see past her bias toward her friend in order to be professional, she should be fired. (And MC really should care more about the consequences of being fired for being a terrible employee.  How is she going to get a new job if she's so awful?)  I think it bothers me so much more now that at the beginning of the book she said something about "I'll take a look but I can't make any promises" (being professional) and has completely abandoned that in favor of "I'll get this book published no matter what!" She used to be capable of being professional! What happened?! Plus there was something about Nick not being able to reject the book if he hasn't read it. I'm not in publishing, so that might be how it works...but I somehow doubt it. If you write a book and it doesn't keep the attention of the person evaluating it long enough for them to want to finish it, it's probably not marketable. Or you need to send it to a different publisher. Either way, it's on the writer to write an interesting book, not on the reader to suffer through to the end. I made MC read the manuscript from the work pile when given the choice, but I saw on youtube that if you choose to not read it, MC says "If Nick couldn't be bothered to read one manuscript, then neither can I." No, MC. That's not how assignments from your boss work. Ughhhhhhhhhhhh
