*AS RECOMMENDED BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID "FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A GOOD LAUGH" ON TIME'S INSTAGRAM*

‘A darkly funny riot’ The Times, Book of the Month

A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR FICTION 2024

Would you want to know what your colleagues say behind your back?

Jolene certainly doesn’t.

She’s riddled with anxiety, depressed, and hates her coworkers. The less she knows about them, the better.

So when a catastrophic IT f*ck up grants her access to all of their emails and private messages, she’s initially horrified. The last thing she wants is to be privy to their sad discussions about dying desk plants and marital troubles.

That’s until, with job cuts looming, she realises the power this new-found knowledge gives her.

But as she digs deeper and deeper into the private lives of her colleagues, Jolene uncovers a lot more than she bargained for… And the walls she’d so carefully built start crumbling down.

For readers who loved The Office US and Really Good, Actually comes the awkward heroine you’re about to fall in love with

'Such a clever, funny, bittersweet read – if Eleanor Oliphant worked in an office, she’d be friends with Jolene' Belfast Telegraph

‘Bright, hilarious, witty and so moving … Sue portrays the tedium and triumph of life in an office cubicle’ Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Jetsetters
