As someone that really enjoys about reading about startups, both fictional and real, I really enjoyed this book! I only had one complaint which was how the very first page was written (it just felt a little too stereotypical for my liking) but that was literally all I had - this book is so well written, so easy to flow through and follow the story. I started this book as the first in my January 2022 Reading Challenge from the Storygraph and I have to say, it was hard to keep putting it down every day! I only read it during lunch breaks but I had to sneak in a couple extra reading times throughout the day just to know what happened. I loved the ending and I appreciate the open-endedness of the resolution as well.
