I’ll start by saying this is definitely more of a thought-provoking workplace drama than a thriller. That said, it kept me hooked and the social commentary definitely had me thinking about topics such as workplace microagressions, imposter syndrome, and code switching. I did think the ending was rushed and left some plot holes. But overall, a worthwhile read (I’d say, especially for white women).
Minor: Racism
