I admit I struggled with this one. Partly maybe because it hit too close to home in some aspects. But mostly because I couldn't really relate to the main character for some reason. I thought the way her work situation resolved kind of awkward. And I really disliked that so much of the book to me read like a not well written psychological self-help book. I've read my share of those and it's fine when that's the purpose of the book, but those thoughts and advice uttered here felt weird. To me at least.
