4.0

I first read this because I love forced proximity. When I first learned Josh's career I would have expected to hate the book on principle, but surprisingly I liked many parts of it. I think the redeeming factor was that in spite of his job he still had boundaries that he stuck to and he hated the big side of the industry. I liked how in the end everyone was fighting against that side of it.

I'm still very much against what he did for a living, but the company Josh, Clara, and Naomi started was definitely built for different reasons and had better motives.

I liked seeing Josh's growth through the book. I also liked how Clara learned what was important to her. 

I'm curious to see where book 2 takes us...
