Startup by Doree Shafrir
4.0

This definitely filled my need for a quick, engrossing read. The book shifts between the viewpoints of five characters who are varying degrees of complex and sympathetic, with every significant male character being a garbage fire (this is not a complaint). Shafrir sometimes veers on the didactic, but the sheer variety of viewpoints and cutting accuracy of her observations ultimately allows the reader to come to their own conclusions.
