People Person

By: Alex Spear

Narrated by: Megan Green

Louisa Cannes is trying to juggle her human resources career with looking after her family and keeping her girlfriend interested. Her ethics are repeatedly tested at the difficult job on which she depends to pay for her nephew’s life-saving treatment.

Cripplingly long hours, an incompetent, lazy line manager and a couple of vindictive rivals don’t exactly help, and she is in danger of burning out. But why does the evil boss, Penelope, seem determined to destroy Louisa one minute, then groom her for promotion the next?

Can Louisa avoid competing with her best friend, can she still call herself a people person, and who can she really trust in the race to the top?

Can Louisa avoid competing with her best friend, can she still call herself a people person, and who can she really trust in the race to the top?

Wow, what an enjoyable read and listen - I had such a fabulous time listening to this book.

Loved the story - amazing and fantastic! Incredible writing.

The narrator was quite enjoyable - loved listening to it. A fantastic listen!

A down and dirty look at office politics.

This was a good listen. The story was good, but would have loved to see more character development. I just didn't feel connected to the characters to the point of rooting for their success or demise. Maybe that was just me. But worth the credit.

An enjoyable listen

4 Star Review People Person by Alex Spear
Alex Spear is a new author to me as was the narrator Megan Green. I enjoyed this book which I listened to on audible. When Louisa finds herself torn between her job, relationship and family it is almost too much to bear.
Her job in Human Resources has changed her into someone she doesn't even feel as though she knows. Her ethics have been compromised and her relationship with her girlfriend is no longer.
Add in her line manger Mike,who is determined to undermine her and her staff and she has a fight on her hands. The big boss Penelope, is certainly a character that could be described as one you love to hate: such a cold and unfeeling character, she really is a nasty piece of work.
This story certainly had it’s share of office politics, drama and angst, throw in a serious illness or two and you know that complications are about to occur.
The narration worked well and I found it an enjoyable to listen too.
Will Louisa compromise herself for her job or will she see the light? Once click and find out.

Something a little different...

I love this story, it was different than I’m use to and I love variety. The narration by Megan Green was spot on. The dynamics of the characters in this book were interesting and the story line of the cut throat world of Human Resources Department was enlightening. I could see that happening all over. Excellent listen.
