You think you're getting a goofy book about working in an IKEA-esque corporate headquarters (or I did because I didn't read the full description) from the eyes of Ava, a project engineer who breaks her days up into productive units and dreads any socializing at work., then the layers start to get pulled back due to a charismatic new boss and a mandatory new therapy app. Ava suddenly has to imagine the person she could be if she stopped living in the very nice box she's built for herself (see what I did there?). BUT THEN! THERE'S TWISTS!
