Startup by Doree Shafrir

I just love stories about spoiled millennials and horrible bosses and plucky people who don't give a crap. This book is awesome because it satirizes the startup culutre (in New York, this time!), useless apps, social media, and crazy people. Well, less of a satire on the last part. Because crazy people are real life and satire is sometimes not powerful enough to reveal all the parts that make up the crazy.
So it's the story of a bunch of horrible people. Mack, a douchy startup guy with an office fling, Isabelle, said fling and casually beautiful person who is discovering the actual meaning of feminism, Katya, gritty Russian journalist waiting for her big break, and a very curious married couple (forgot their names, but one is a douche and the other is Asian and has a side hustle. lolz). All these people crash together and come apart and do nutty and stupid and heinous things. It's just delightful.
So read this if you like making fun of people who are ironically fed up with SXSW and if you just love horrible people.
