This was a fun, sometimes funny, sometimes awkward book. At times I wasn't sure the reader was even meant to like Germaine, but I found myself wondering if I pitied her more than I was meant to; she's been taught a specific metric for success towards which she's striving, and she doesn't know what she's supposed to be going for outside of that. She also never really seems aware of exactly how terribly she was treated at her previous job; it goes way beyond the promotion for which she was passed over, leading to The Incident. For these reasons, it feels a bit rough around the edges. It is a debut, and it was generally enjoyable, so I will be interested in seeing what Collette writes next.
Overall: B
