Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
Nope.
First of all, the prologue is 30 minutes long. I know that most people don't share my hatred of prologues, but that is just WAY too damn long. And it's not even good. It just made me uncomfortable. The MC starts off by bitching about how humorless her coworkers are, but she's not even slightly funny? Putting your name as "Ben Dover" on a work meeting is gross, weird, and not even funny. And she made some stupid Game of Thrones reference that no one laughed at, but it was just dumb. Also not funny and not a joke. Like...the problem is clearly her, not her coworkers. And the male MC started his first day at a new job by trying to prank his friend? What is wrong with these people? Or maybe the characters are all supposed to act like they're in middle school. Maybe this is a publishing company run by literal children. I've never read a book that I've disliked this much this fast. Yikes.
