cailaprincess's review against another edition
I liked the magical/mystery vibe of the middle chapters but it didn’t go anywhere - thought it was ramping up to get more surreal but it just …didn’t

Enjoyable handful of connected vignettes about the monotony of various, oddly specific, jobs. I was hoping this would have a bit more of a hint of the show Severance, but that isn't the tone. Don’t go into this expecting much to happen, but you might enjoy it if you like a light-hearted read.

The title and the content of the book was kind of different. While I finished the book, it wasn’t exactly my style of book. At some points, it was quite interesting while at others, not so

It's about a 36 years old woman, who had a burnout at her job and is now (with help from a social worker) in search of a new one. She changes several jobs and talks about them and the unusual and unexpected things going on there.
It's an odd book but I found it entertaining. :)
