What I thought about Operation:One Night Stand
Operation:One Night Stand is the story of Caroline Frost and her recovery from her ex-fiance's betrayal with the office intern. When she seems to be developing a permanent relationship with ice cream and bad chic-flics, her friends Sarah and Melody basically force her to join the living by challenging her to have a one night stand.
Things go pretty well for Caroline, as she sets her target on Ryan at the local bar. And then there's the bartender, Brian. Everything gets complicated when it turns out the Ryan and Brian are roommates.
I loved the humor in this. There are some real laughs especially when she gets to tell her ex off. But she's faced with a real dilemma -- keep Ryan and his friends with benefits offer, or take a chance on Brian and another relationship?
I also liked the portrayal of the three women in this story as accomplished professionals who like to party and enjoy sexual encounters. There's no shaming here and I really liked that about this story.
The ending is predictable and sweet and doesn't quite pack the emotional punch I would have liked but it was a fun story about recovering from heartache.
