Triggers warnings needed before you read it. A story of the mundanity and stress of working in corporate america while also trying to balance everything else in life. But I thought this was a nice, easy read (minus the trigger warning pieces). But the author used unique concepts in her writing that I really enjoyed and I thought helped move the story along but also have interesting style pieces.

so many thoughts swirling around after this one. loved the writing. the metaphor of depression as a black hole hit close to home. lots to think about.
