 This was a fun read and I really enjoyed it. I would describe this as a rom-com satire thriller. Ava works for a company that I would describe as a caricature of IKEA, Google, and Apple combined. The details in the book are so clever and I really appreciate the author’s attention to detail. Ava can be frustrating, but she is likable and I think anyone can relate to different aspects of her personality. She reminds me of a more social, slightly less awkward Eleanor Oliphant. I’m too tired to write more detail or even remember all the things I liked about it, but I definitely recommend this one!
