The Boyfriend Project

Farrah Rochon's “The Boyfriend Project” is a smart take on a romance novel.

Samiah Brooks isn't a woman waiting to be saved or completed by a man; she's a smart, creative, caring person who hits a bump in the road in the form of an unfortunate short-term boyfriend and ends up with great new friends and a chance to re-examine what she wants to do with her life and career.

I appreciated the book taking the women's point of view of day-to-day life in the tech world; many tech companies have been making efforts to bring women in, but it's still dominated by men. The book goes further in talking about the realties and challenges women of color face in trying to climb the professional ladder.

I look forward to more books from Farrah Rochon (and appreciate the Python shout out!).
