I loooved this book. I read it SO FAST! Which—I recently learned is something that authors find offensive? But I just mean I was hooked from the get-to and I ignored so much of my life so that I could crawl into this book and live there for a while. The plot twists were GLORIOUS and made me giddy.
Now, I am basically allergic to what I call “depressed single girl” books and I was worried that was what this was going to be (like, My Year of Rest and Relaxation or Luster, for example). But there was so much humor and lightness around it all that it kept me from becoming depressed and I was never confused about Joleen’s motivations.
To me it gave Fleabag—a woman trying her best with misguided (but hilarious to the audience) coping mechanisms just trying to survive in the wake of trauma.
Five stars. I loved it so much. Also the office setting was impeccable.
