Not Safe for Work by Nisha J. Tuli
I thought this was the book that was listed in Goodreads for a selection under one of the challenges, it turned out that another book has the same exact title! I read the incorrect book. I didn’t struggle through this book but I felt it was very YES this does happen in life, it happened to me, not the same circumstances but the same unfairness. Women tend to be treated differently in the workforce and men seem to think of women as not essential. They also expect us not to be outspoken or to speak out of turn, to be quiet. To be overlooked and underpaid. So in that sense yes the novel follows the correct path, to some extent. But you can stand up and be strong and voice your beliefs and truths and move on. Some of this was realistic, some of this fantasy. I think I would have liked to seen the whole realistic side.
