"Like Bookish People, the novel sparkles with kooky details plucked from literary culture. A comedy of errors that gets it just right." --KirkusAn unexpected catastrophe of literary proportions . .... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I kinda have to admire Clemi for sticking around for the worst first week of work that I have ever heard of! From disappearing bosses, mysterious cats that show up (which sadly Clemi is allergic of!), money issues, and a gala that needs to be put together asap with no funds! So yeah, this is a completely wild ride where anything can happen (including clowns and a eerie talking chicken recorder) and while it was entertaining it was also stressful because I felt so bad for all that Clemi had to do. Quite a bit of this is not realistic (so many quirky people!!!), so be warned. A lot more people should have been arrested and things done in the name of love were quite over the top. I do wish Clemi the best in whatever she chooses after all that, whether it will be continuing to work for the nonprofit (in whatever iteration in next forms into) or being a lawyer (despite the pesky clown question!).
This was an entertaining audiobook and the narrator, Marni Penning, did a great job in bringing this chaotic fever dream to life and making the characters seem as realistic as they can get in this story where anything can happen (including catnapping, a genius 8 year old to help bring chaos, and of course clowns everywhere!). And on a side note, I did not know people could be allergic to ice. lol
