The trials and tribulations of an anxious office girlie. Overall, I really enjoyed Hard Copy. The narrator had such a unique yet relatable perspective, with some brilliantly funny observations about modern life as an office girlie. I picked this up for the wild premise a woman in a relationship with her printer but was surprised to find there were plenty of other plot threads woven throughout. While this kept things engaging, at times it felt like there were maybe too many, and some resolutions landed a bit anticlimactically. I also found the chapter from the printer's perspective a little frustrating; at that point, I just wanted to stay with the main character, and it didn't add much to the story for me. That said, it was a gripping and refreshingly original read that kept me hooked.
