"The funniest office comedy I’ve read in years culminates in the worst company retreat ever – paintball and tranquilizers, anyone? Marisa is an ad agency’s higher-up, but one would be hard-pressed to find a less engaged employee. “I only come into the office to lower my air-conditioning bill,” she says. Discontent is slim and voicey, and Marisa’s unhinged and mercilessly witty narration turns the book’s familiar premise into something delightfully unpredictable. One of the few office novels where you really feel like anything could happen."
