I gotta say: I read this at the perfect time. With so many exams and projects and work to juggle at the end of the semester, I needed something easy and mind-numbing and this was exactly it. The boring-ness of it was just what I yearned for to put my overflowing head to rest. 

Looking at the protagonist who wants a calm and uneventful work environment to recover from her burnout, I might have accidentally mirrored her state perfectly - and what the ideal job was looking like for here, this book delivered for me: slow, calm and peaceful.
