We've woken up earlier than When September Ends - forgive us!!! This month we are back in action, chit chatting at the water-cooler, putting each other's staplers in jello, and generally oozing boredom due to the existence of "the corporation" - well, almost - it's really that this month we are discussing I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue, a book set in an office. And let's just say some of us don't totally agree with the blurbs that call it 'down right hilarious'.... Per usual, we will continue with our Season 2 spoiler-free intros, where we will discuss our initials thoughts about the book before turning spoiler full in the second half of the show. Have your own thoughts??? Submit a footnote!

Book blurb:
As far as Jolene is concerned, her interactions with her colleagues should start and end with her official duties as an admin for Supershops, Inc. Unfortunately, her irritating, incompetent coworkers don’t seem to understand the importance of boundaries. Her secret to survival? She vents her grievances in petty email postscripts, then changes the text colour to white so no one can see. That is, until one of her secret messages is exposed. Her punishment: sensitivity training (led by the suspiciously friendly HR guy, Cliff) and rigorous email restrictions.
Crackling with laugh-out-loud dialogue and relatable observations, I Hope This Finds You Well is a fresh and surprisingly tender comedy about loneliness and love beyond our computer screens. This sparkling debut novel will open your heart to the everyday eccentricities of work culture and the undeniable human connection that comes with it.
