Sad Desk Salad
Sad Desk Salad | Jessica Grose
6 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
As a former editor for popular websites, including Slate and Jezebel, Jessica Grose intimately understands the realities of life in the blogosphere--and she employs this knowledge to hilarious effect in her edgy and timely debut novel, Sad Desk Salad. Grose's story of a savvy blogger who stumbles upon an irresistible scoop--one that could cause irreparable damage to a young woman's life and reputation--and must reconcile her true values with the ruthless demands of a gossip- and reality-obsessed culture is a stinging and wildly funny indictment of Americas obsession with celebrity dirt. This fictional behind-the-scenes look at a booming online industry is smart and sharp contemporary womens fiction, a The Devil Wears Prada for the twenty-teens.

Okay…I know this is just supposed to be about books, but the only #BFC2022 May goal I completed was my salad month goal. These are some of the salads I‘ve made.
And, ok, I know that that one in the middle right square looks like a pie, but that‘s only because it‘s a pie. But it‘s a pie based on an ambrosia SALAD…so it counts. 😂

Kept having to start my 30-day an challenge over, and I DEFINITELY didn‘t take my lunch breaks for reading.

If Panera Catering is going to charge me $30 for a “Large Fruit Salad, Serves 10,” I‘m not expecting something that looks like all the Del Monte fruit cups I didn‘t eat in my lunch box in 1983 all piled together.

Notafraidofwords Glad to know. 6y

Stayed up late and finished this in one, quick gulp last night. Lots of fun and scary-reminiscent of real life internet writing.

Reading Sad Desk Salad and thinking about today's sad desk bagel.
