I might be coming to the end of reading this book. I‘m about 75 pages in and I‘m getting really sick of reading the constant refrain of how unhappy they all were and their equal unwillingness to make any changes to improve their lives…

Has anyone read this one? Should I bail or does it get any better?

wanderinglynn I bailed on this one. In my review, I said “I found the writing atrocious with choppy sentences and lack of direction. And the first person plural failed to be cute or witty and was simply annoying.” 3y
sarahbellum @wanderinglynn Yes, totally agree with the lack of direction and how annoying the first person plural is! Thanks for sharing! 3y
Bookwormjillk I think this was very much a book of its time and probably didn‘t age well. 3y
sarahbellum @Bookwormjillk Probably doesn‘t help that work is super stressful right now, so the last thing I want to read about is soul sucking work 😖 3y

I have not read this one. It was on my radar but had mixed reviews. Then @wanderinglynn read it and hated so I took it off my list because I trust her opinion.

BarbaraBB I enjoyed it but then I worked at an advertising agency for a while and it was really recognizable! 3y
wanderinglynn 😆 I had to look up my review because I did not remember this book at all. 3y

This one has been on my TBR for the best part of 10 years, and I finally read it thanks to #BookSpin, as it was this month‘s #DoubleSpin selection. I find myself wondering if I would have enjoyed it more if I‘d read it 10 years ago. Some aspects of its look at office politics are keenly observed, but some seemed far too petty, and the book itself felt overly long. It was a decent read, but didn‘t set my world alight.

TheAromaofBooks At least it's finally off the list!!! 4y

It‘s been a while since I‘ve picked up a book. Mental state hasn‘t been the greatest the last few months. I‘ve tried but I‘ve felt so exhausted. But it‘s time to change that. I got a better job where I feel appreciated, have time for my husband, my fur babies and about time, myself! Starting with this book! ❤️ #reading #mentalhealth #love #books #crisp #officelife #newjob

Would the end of this book be the end page to end all #EndPages?

Happy to live only a few minutes walk from the DC Pride Parade route 🌈. Easy to head home and get back to my book when the crowd anxiety kicks in.

BarbaraBB Have a good day! 5y
