As a student currently studying accounting, I found our main character quite amusing. I also appreciated some of the humor, however some of it fell flat. It wasn't laugh-out-loud funny, but it was enjoyable and wacky. The book was also filled with quite a few statements ranging from uncomfortable to insulting. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars. Could have been fantastic with fewer microaggressions and more accounting.
