Every character in this book was totally unlikeable. They read like caricatures instead of real people with any depth.

In many cases, it feels like the  author favoured cheap jokes or punch lines over telling a complete story or creating any real layers with the characters or plot.

Nolan and Melody's relationship has no real substance and just feels like a generic office attraction (and that she's attracted to him because he's not a complete loser like every single other person she works with?).
