In all honesty, just watch the movie. It's so much better.
I found the main character in general very unlikeable and the book mainly consisted of her workplace abusing her in every way possible. There were parts I enjoyed, but for me the pacing of the book was generally off. For a long time the plot didn't seem to be going anywhere and then the climax came at the very end of the book, which left me as a reader incredibly confused. It wasn't terrible, but I don't see myself picking it up again.
