so-soMilly has a depressing temp job in a depressing office. The rest of het life is depressing too. She lives alone, with no friends or hobby‘s. So Milly has the right to whine. And whining she does. The comparison with Moshfegh‘s My Year of Rest and Relaxation comes up, but that one is much better. Although I did feel sorry for Milly, especially because she wrote such sincere job application emails and was treated unfairly.

alisiakae I was about ready to say this would be a great pick for the Booked #wineorwhine prompt, but that was last year! 🤪 (edited) 3y
Moonprismpower The temp job reminds me of the movie Clockwatchers. Four women all temps trying to make it in life. It‘s a bit depressing but Parker Posey and Toni Collette star in it. 3y

BarbaraBB @4thhouseontheleft I was looking for that prompt too 🤣 3y
BarbaraBB @Moonprismpower It does sound similar indeed but I don‘t know the movie. 3y

Kalalalatja It is one of the coldest winters here too 🥶🥶 3y
BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja Are you having snow too? It is -15° C here ? 3y
Cinfhen It‘s unusually warm here / it‘s been in the 70‘s everyday for over 2 weeks already☀️I‘m NOT complaining 3y
Kalalalatja Yep, snowstorms in some parts of the country (luckily not near me... yet) 3y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 3y
emilyhaldi Even with this so-so review, your synopsis has me very drawn to this book and miserable Millie 😂 3y
Hooked_on_books Fabulous picture! 😍 3y
Ruthiella Oh, I loved this one! I‘ve yet to read the Moshfegh, but I will! 3y
Megabooks Lovely picture, mediocre book! ❤️❤️ 3y
BarbaraBB @emilyhaldi I can totally see why @Ruthiella loved it, maybe you will too. Milly has some sharp observations of her coworkers and life in general 3y
