This book has some interesting takes on start-up/tech culture that make it an easy read, but the lack of character development and the rushing of the plot made it one I stopped enjoying halfway through. .
Spoiler
Sabrina, Katya, and DEFINITELY Isabel deserved more substance, and the substance of Mack wasn't satisfying either. I'll give Shafrir her nuances here and there, but overall this was a book that fell short of indicting what I wanted it to indict.toluolowo's review against another edition

I did not understand this book. It started out lovely, but then just petered out. Did the author get tired? It has a bit of an unfinished feel about it.

Scathing takedown of startup and tech culture- if any book could capture 2017/2018, this is a shoe-in.

Enjoyable and fun, though I found this to be less satire and more truth (which is rather depressing for women in tech). A good conversation starter.

I might change my star rating eventually since I try to keep my 5-star ratings for books that resonate with me over time, but this was exactly the right book at exactly the right time. I read and enjoyed Hatching Twitter not long ago, so I was all-in for this lady-centric tech book. It was suspenseful, poignant, well-written, and fun - all things I think the book you read on your first day of summer break should be. I'm excited to hear Doree speak at the Printer's Row Litfest this weekend.

- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Felt like a more brightly lit Bret Easton Ellis. Unhappy reflective characters with good observations, but not much going on and no one to root for.

This book was actually kind of entertaining, but it did drag on and on. And then the "cliffhanger" ending - this book does not warrant a cliffhanger ending. Boo.

Obviously older author desperate to sound young and world-weary at the same time in a very of-the-moment book.
