Not a lot happens in this book, and it’s pretty repetitive. This is the consensus I had heard before reading it. I can understand why that has been the sentiment because both are true, but also I really enjoyed the pace and style of the writing and it was really interesting and reassuring to read about someone who is struggling with workplace burnout and wondering if they will ever find a job that is truly satisfying with good pay and work/life balance.
