It will be very, very easy to hate this book. In the words of one of the characters, non-verbatim: it's soooo hard for you, huh? 

This book is among a recent kind of fiction that portrays modern, 21st-century hyperculture, aptly dubbed "millennial fiction." While it does not claim to set itself apart, it does a good job of exposing the reader to its own hubris.

The main character is your average salary woman for a tech startup in Silicon Valley, who also happens to be jaded and is always, always, tired. Much like My Year of Rest and Relaxation, The New Me, and NSFW, our characters are guilty of their struggles on account of their privilege. There is this self-debilitating humor sprinkled across these books that comes across as tongue-in-cheek. It will either grate or tickle the reader's gears(sensibilities). 

This is not a hopeful book. In fact, it paints corporate life in a negative light and when I say it is very easy to hate, I mean it in a way that the characters can be obnoxious. Some may feel like cardboard standees meant to be mouthpieces where the book projects its preconceived notions about those who have this lifestyle and are rendered as robots who love money. 

It's like it took all the ingredients of the "Every Gen Z/Millenial Existential Dread Experience Ever" recipe and served it to the reader, rot on a silver platter. It will offend because it served a reality that is not to our taste.

All that said, I would argue that it could not have ended any other way that it did.
