From the first pages, the speech and satiric characterization is so biting and precise that it's scary to think that, not only do people like this exist, but they have POWER. The main character, Girl, wrestles with integrity vs money vs happiness vs money vs neurotic/psychotic employers vs hope in her vaguely-defined, rebound position at the opportunistic, shape-shifting My Company. The language, slang, and jargon are used perfectly as she stumbles through post-grad existence. Occasionally light but mostly bleak, this book is deftly written and surely draws on personal experience; imagination alone can't come up with some of these scenarios.
