Like in Bad Summer People, Emma Rosenblum profiles #richpeopleproblems, this time in the corporate executive world. Definitely some good laughs at the immense privilege and narcissism the characters display. There are lots of unlikeable characters that are behaving badly and continue to do so. It's light on the "thriller" side, and probably the only reason why it's labeled as a thriller is because there's a murder. But it explores a number of story lines that take away from the narrative drive. Overall, It's a nice light guilty pleasure especially if you hate your job/boss/coworkers/senior executives.
