This book was not what I was expecting at all. From reviews I had heard on youtube I thought it was going to be about a woman who was truly happy with her job, even though she has to live under capitalism.
It was darker and heavier than I feel people represent it. It's about the pressures of society and how they are sexist, ableist, and anti-worker. It's about how people push those pressures onto their loved ones. And how we survive, but no one in this book is really thriving.
