This is a really fun debut that reminds me of a mix between Colson Whitehead's Zone One and Ready Player One. Centered on recent college grads with "impractical" majors, the book's multiple-POV format builds very authentic characters you recognize in classmates. There's some excessive cringe-by-proxy, but the conclusion is really well done and I loved the whole plot.
