Im a sucker for strong women, equality, and fighting for your right to be respected and listened to as an equal! I loved the premise of this book and I’m so happy I picked this book up from the library

“She was used to waiting her turn while watching white men get what she wanted.”

A little too gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss for my tastes, but still well written. None of the characters seemed to have any earned character development. And there were a lot of white feminist moments that were painful to read. Still, a part of me thrilled at watching a narrative of the bastards of society getting shit on.

4 friends get together to begin a blog about their bosses who are overbearing and demeaning to women. They do this in secret, but then, the blog becomes viral and gets the attention of journalists and reporters. The women fear that their identities will be exposed and they will lose their jobs.
The book is interesting as it exposes what happens in the workplace, how women are expected to do menial tasks and are passed over in favor of men.
