Read the synopsis on Goodreads<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been intrigued by this book for a while, love the cover, description and reviews I’ve seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally listened to the audiobook on Scribd after listened to the Books Unbound<\/a> book club episode on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the story of a young woman walking into an employment agency looking for an ‘easy’ job. We follow her from job to job as she comes to the conclusion that really: there’s no such thing as an easy job. Not the job on job adverts, not the surveillance job nor the job in a park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these jobs I’ve never even thought of or knew existed. Coming from an environment where you get a job, get a stable salary in order to get afford housing etc, you’re kind of tied to your job, so the experience of this young woman was equal parts a revelation and something so far from my reality at the same time. Hopping from job to job is just not something I’d be able to do. If I lived elsewhere? Who knows? I do think I’d seek stability, but I have mad respect for people trying different things as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our protagonist is lonely and okay with a lot of things I’d have spoken up for. She did react to things in her own way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writing is okay, the audiobook narration is pretty good and it’s a relatively short and thought provoking book. If this sounds intriguing, definitely check it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Books Unbound team did mention a couple of other similar books that I’ve added to my TBR, reviews to follow as soon as I read them. I think I’ll start with My Year of Rest and Relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
