Janie also loves to go off on tangents – when she’s nervous (which happens a lot when she’s in social situations) she often blurts out random trivia. The schtick of the story is that the listener knows what’s going on well before Janie does. McHotpants turns out to be Quinn Sullivan and he’s more than a security guard.
Newly single, stained, shoeless, jobless and homeless (she and Jon lived together he cheated, she’s moving out), Janie’s only consolation is that she’s escorted from the building by “Sir Handsome McHotpants” – a security guard who started work in the building a few weeks earlier. She finds out her boyfriend has cheated on her, one of her heels breaks, she spills coffee on her favourite shirt, she gets “downsized” (aka fired) from her job and when she goes to the bathroom to try and pull herself together there’s NO TOILET PAPER. The story begins when she has a Very Bad Day. Janie Morris is a socially inept architect/ mathematician who is often oblivious to what’s going on around her. Bad because there were some aspects which frustrated me and which the ability to skim would likely have remedied. It turns out this was both a good and a bad decision. When I had the opportunity to try it in audio, I jumped at the chance – my TBL is much smaller. I’ve had Neanderthal Seeks Humanon my giant TBR for a long time.
