so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unless you‘re in your early 20s and just entering into your post-college career, you can skip this one. It‘s a lot of “OMG!”, “LOL!” and “HAHAHA” dialogue as a young woman describes every little issue of office politics. It could be a breezy beach read for the summer.
Kappadeemom Did she like talk a lot about like important like stuff? #Thingsthatdrivecrazy 6y
Lea I‘ve come across several books like this lately. I‘m either too old or they weren‘t written for the ages, so to speak. 6y
Kaylamburson Hmmm I was excited for this one, but now I'm not so sure... 6y

LauraBeth @Kappadeemom she basically obsessed about a boy who dumped her. 🙄 And the word like was used as every third or fourth word. 6y
LauraBeth @lea I‘m beginning to think it‘s a combination of both. I‘m too far removed from the station in life that these characters are in and the book probably isn‘t written for me anyway. 😀 6y
LauraBeth @Kaylamburson the dialogue is terrible. Most every sentence that is meant to be a statement ends in a question mark to emulate the tone. If you can sit through reading endless dialogue where statements end as questions, followed by, “like, really, you know, like, OMG! Hahahaha! Like working in an office is like really the worst?” 6y
Kaylamburson That‘s awful! I‘ll admit that I‘m guilty of my share of OMG‘s in texts and posts, but I don‘t think I‘ve verbally said it in forever. I‘m in my mid-20s so probably this “demographic” and I think that would come across as offensive. 6y
LauraBeth @Kaylamburson I completely understand it if it‘s shown as a text as opposed to dialogue. I didn‘t mention what I liked about the book. I did like the satirical send-up of current-day journalism (a la sites like Buzzfeed and other click-bait farms). That was interesting to me. It‘s akin to The Knockoff, but from the 20-something perspective as opposed to the 40-something perspective. 6y
