Anyone who has worked in an office setting, and especially anyone who has faced layoffs, can relate to this book. The paranoia, the office politics and awkward social situations. The author did a great job getting in the heads of the various characters. The descriptions of office social situations were on point. They were laugh out loud funny, cringe inducing, sad, but definitely relateable.
I did have some trouble keeping track of all the characters, especially the ones who were were introduced, or just mentioned, and then never heard from again. The timing of the book was also a little hard to follow since it jumped back and forth. Both of these resolved about halfway through when the story followed a more linear path. This was about the time that I really started to enjoy the book. All in all, I'd recommend it.
