blue_summer_song 's review for:
Startup
by Doree Shafrir
Fast-paced, engaging look at the tech scene in NYC. Mostly I liked the character of Sabrina (a older mother of two trying to find her feet after life didn't turn out quite like she imagined) and Katya (a young journalist). The topics of the story are very trendy (startups, the "dudebro" phenom, women in tech) and I think it'll be a dated read within a few years but Shafrir has something interesting things to say about what work means and how our perceptions of it are changing. I also appreciated the diversity of her characters. The ending felt slightly unresolved. Still, I'm interested to see what a second book by this author would look like.
