broccolimom 's review for:
The Very Nice Box
by Eve Gleichman, Laura Blackett
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.*
I am actively making my way through page two of my NetGalley TBR, where I lost a number of titles because I didn't realize I HAD a page two. This title appealed to me for the premise: Ava is an engineer for STÄDA, an IKEA-like corporate giant. Ava makes boxes and is so committed to her brand that she speaks in STÄDA, noticing every item. It's clever and entertaining. Ava is also deeply damaged from surviving a car crash 5 years ago that killed her parents and her fiancee, Andie. Ava is surprisingly swept off her feet by the new CEO, and despite her own internal warnings, she ignores all of the red flags and embarks on a tricky relationship.
A really different domestic thriller, made unique by the STÄDA angle as well as a decidedly millennial slant.
