that ending had me !!! Okay so this is not going to be for everyone, but after a few years navigating Goodreads I’ve figured out that books this polarizing on here always end up being my favorites. Cassie works at a toxic start up in Silicon Valley and is miserable (relatable) and she’s followed around by a black hole, which is the physical manifestation of her depression (my mom said this is also very relatable). If you work in corporate America, especially for a start up this is going to be upsetting for you, but I ate it up. Please mind there are a ton of triggers - I’m tagging them on StoryGraph. I recommended it at work!
