I checked out my library's e-book copy of this book, thinking it would be a quick read. Yet I never really got into it, so I kept putting it off and renewing my access to the book. It wasn't until someone else put a hold on it that I forced myself to finish the book.
Ugh. There are way too many characters in the book to keep track of, and the book spends way too much time in exposition mode. I couldn't care less about any of the characters because they were all terrible people doing terrible things, and there really weren't consequences for their actions.

Quick paced, urban, smart, woke-ish, & f the patriarchy all rolled into one. As a 36 yr old who is officially on the high end of official millennialism I so feel Sabrina and yet also felt myself smiling when I “got” millennial references. I’m not in tech but i think a lot of creatives would get into this. I enjoyed and would even read again as a summer beach read.
If it weren't for Book of the Month I probably wouldn't have given this book a first glance, but I was oddly surprised by how interested I became for knowing very little about business and next to nothing about startup culture. So I did learn a few things in that area.
the more I think about this book, the more it bugs me. my first problem with the book is that the ending was too neat, too obviously looking toward sequels. not every book needs to become a series. I think my other problem is that the book is ostensibly about women in tech and yet the main female characters all have the typical female tech jobs - writer, social media, and engagement. conversely, the main male characters are sleazeballs. So maybe the author is talking about how it *is* but it really seems like she's also reinforcing stereotypes.
This was okay as a beach read, but there's really nothing particularly original here. It lampoons millenials in such an easy and obvious way that I was quickly bored. The issues that should be given weight, like sexual harassment, are hidden behind a veil of satire that equates sending snapchat dicks to your subordinate to spending too much money on online clothing. Overall, I'm not sure the author knew what she wanted this book to be.
The start up satire was on point and very funny. The actual story line I didnt care for as much
Super quick read that tackled a crappy topic that is way too commonly occurring in a really honest way. Can’t fully appreciate the startup environment or early 20s vernacular, but was entertaining and plenty was (sadly) relatable.
Meh. First time I had to slow down an audiobook narrator.
I love Doree's podcasts, so of course I loved her book. Funny and easy read!
Great debut novel that had me laughing, thinking and nodding my head a lot!
