My Rating: 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fun, funny and emotionally ruined stars!!
Welcome to my third review of today� (that is if you are furiously following me 🤣). Even though I only finished this today and I am indeed finally caught up I am still not going to do a synopsis wrap up� I figure you can read it on GR or the back of the cover.
So, this one got me in a choke hold. I am not going to lie I was dubious about it, and I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. I thought it would be a satire of working in an office. What I got was the very real and raw true lives of us all, all the fun and tragedy that brings. Every character in this book was someone we could or might know.
For those of you who work in an office (I do) it can be office politics, high school, locker room bullshit all day everyday and thats before you even get to do any work. People piss you off, people gossip and you spend your days feeling left out, in the club or paranoid� and some days you just want to tell your co-workers to Eat a Dick� well if that has ever been you this book will be for you!!
There are parts that are very funny but for the most part this pulled and tugged away at my heartstrings until dare I say it� I cried. YES I know, I cried and it was sad and I felt so hollowed out. But never fear the author did such a great job of it that even if you were expecting the fallout of this wild story…which I was, I mean how could you not, it was still done in such a way that was go good (and bad but good bad� if you know what I mean).
Jolene was so relatable and I felt for her honestly I did. The more we found out about her and Rhonda, Caitlin and Armin well� the more they could literally be any one of us trying to get through life.
You see a woman who talks to no one so you think shes a stuck up toffy nose, but what’s going on for her. You see a guy who keeps sneaking out to go - where - but when you find out your heart breaks and he’s just trying to get through the day. And you see a woman who seems to be a busybody bragging about having the best son in the world, but really under this surface so much more is going on.
It was for me a really good reminder that we are all human and we all have things going on and when we go to work we all carry the weight of whatever it is that is happening for us day in day out in life and sometimes it comes out in our behaviour. And if we stop and look at each other and think to ourselves I wonder what is going on for that person we might all have a little more compassion. NOW I know I got deep with that .. and lets face it most people aren’t going to do that on the daily� but the book got me thinking so�
For me a book that makes me laugh, cry and think about world / life issues is a 5 star!! I loved it and I think it would make a great mini series or movie.
Overall, if you think this is something that might even remotely interest you just give it a go. Its really well written with a few laughs and some moments that might just get you in your feelings!!
