paulafschr 's review for:

The Very Nice Box by Eve Gleichman, Laura Blackett
2.0

this is my petition to make all office romcom-thrillers (or whatever the hell this was) illegal.

the very nice box was such a weird book. the thing is: i get what the authors were trying to do. it just didn't work. like.. at all. this whole thing about how far self-optimisation can go? very fascinating. in theory. however, this was more like 300 pages filled with boring office romance, followed by the weirdest thriller-esque ending ever.

very nice? more like very disappointing
