It was fine, I guess? Not quite a satire, not quite anything else, unexpectedly topical while I was reading it, since the story focuses on a sexual harassment claim against a powerful white CEO. All the men in this book are terrible to varying degrees, which I guess is part of the point, and the only characters that get much in the way of development are the two POV characters, Katya and Sabrina - even Isabel is pretty sketchily drawn. The story takes a while to get going and the book ends pretty abruptly and with a lot of plot threads unresolved (setup for a sequel?). I wish there'd been more satirical elements, because god knows startups are more than ripe for parody. Overall, this was pretty enjoyable but I'm not sure how long it'll stick with me.
