liebermanp's review against another edition
Insanely long chapters. Loved the movie and the book was decent so far, but I just couldn't get past the long chapters. Might try to listen to the audiobook sometime

The men in this book were a#$%les. Like her boyfriend who refused to empathize with how sucky her life was under this tyrant of a woman. The security guy who would force her to sing everytime she came in just screams sexual harassment. Even her dad, who would disappear to work, or be disappointed, or just not be there. The women I appreciated came in all types, but this book was longer than it should have been. And I'm just so ticked that everyone was depending on her, like without her nothing else is fine, and that was a different kind of dependency. Her best friend fell apart because she was working, her relationship fell apart because she was working, all knowing it was only 1 year out of her life. So everybody besides Andy in this book can suck it, because that kind of sick dependency on one person has led many a woman to her own downfall, with her own feeling of self worth not important until everyone else is okay. This book left me mad I see.

DNFed. I might try this book again, but I was listening to this on audiobook and still didn’t finish it. I think I just struggled to like any of the characters in the books and I just didn’t want to keep going after a certain point.

ok yes, Miranda was demeaning and impossible to please, but Andy wasn’t much better. Andy agreed to put up with the (albeit awful) job for a year, but managed to have a trashy attitude about it the entire time. don’t get me started on her putting off calling Alex and her parents when she KNEW they were disappointed in her for going to Europe. this year, i’m revisiting my favorite movies/tv shows via the books that inspired them. I’m conflicted about the changes made for the movie — it seems many of them were necessary to condense the story into a 100-min format. The book could’ve been more concise… but i understand why it wasn’t. Andy bf’s was unlikable in the movie (he exuded hater vibes) because the film lacked a lot of character building from the book.
