If you're an academic/in STEM you'll love this book. It's very disjointed, stream of consciousness style so that might turn some people off but I really really enjoyed it. I related to the main character so much as a neurodivergent woman in STEM, the stress and the listlessness and wondering what you're doing. I have never had a line in a book hit me as hard as one of the early lines in this book. Love love LOVE it, it's a quick listen (or read) and it's great.
