Welcome to Litsy!

I thought this was great! It made me laugh a lot, but I also cried a few times. And even though it did that thing I hate of constantly referring to Something in the Past for ages before explaining it and at one point I actually said aloud to an empty room, "Please go get some therapy," I think I loved it?

Jolene,a 33year old office worker,is given access to the company‘s whole email&chat exchanges by mistake.A grumpy&aloof outsider,Jolene sees this as her chance to take revenge on her nemesis Kaitlyn&secure her job(which is on the line).But what she learns about her colleagues leads to changes within herself.She‘s not the only one struggling with grief&loneliness.Cliff,the new HR guy,is another reason why Jolene will perceive life differently.👇

Even though this isn‘t typically my kind of fiction, I loved how fun it was. It was the easy read that I needed.

Oh, the snark! I couldn‘t stop snickering for a good chunk of the beginning of this. Filled with unlikeable people doing unlikeable things and saying hilarious things! The tone does really shift as the book goes on (I preferred the first half) and the character development is strong. Looking forward to more from Sue!

Honestly, this could end up being my favourite book of the year. It was delightfully and completely unhinged, it was plausible, the supporting characters were vibrant - even the ones that were absolutely awful people and it was so funny - I mostly listened to the audiobook while I was at my work desk and this had me working hard to restrain snorts of laughter.

I absolutely loved the ending but had an absolute blast all the way through.

Wild Friday night for me, I‘m at the laundromat with my audiobook and honestly it‘s lucky no one else is here because my face is looking like this 🤭😆🤣

It‘s delightfully unhinged. I was so engrossed that I actually folded my laundry there because I wanted to finish the chapter 😝

I loved this book SO much! It was interesting and quirky, and I may have laughed out loud numerous times! Super smart and witty.

Finished this book a few days ago…

4.5⭐️. Super funny at first. And then like a wall of bricks right at your face.

Also, bugga loved his trip to the planetarium w his summer camp… now I just have to go! 🤩🌌🪐♥️

Got a couple-two-tree things for a couple-two-tree swaps (none of which are pictured), and figured, while I was there, I should get myself a couple-two-tree things too. 😇😎

*note: “a couple-two-tree” meant a somewhat ambiguous “few” in the 80s in Wisconsin as I was growing up… ✌🏽3️⃣👾👧🏽

I loved Nasir Pedrad as the narrator. She does a really good job of bringing out this main character. I was not sure which way this was going to go. So I was pleasantly surprised with the positive ending.

It‘s pretty great when a new audiobook has you cracking up and you‘ve only listened to 1% so far. 😆

This workplace dramedy has some dark comedy Office Space vibes for sure! ☎️🖥️ And a great narrator!

Weekend Reads question - how do you all do that cool background with pictures of the books you‘re reading? Im technically challenged lol 🤦‍♀️

What happens when the office outcast suddenly has access to all her coworkers‘ emails and chats? 🤫🤭 This workplace satire is equal parts funny and touching. It‘s giving Backman vibes for me.
