2024 book 200

 Natalie Sue's I Hope This Finds You Well

I think I was hoping this would be reminiscent of Rainbow Rowell's Attachments, since it’s about a women who accidentally gains access to all her company's emails/messages, but that is a pretty high bar, I guess. This was fine. The woman is a depressed, bitter, traumatized mess, and parts of this were weirdly tense, even as she starts to fall for the HR guy who’s supposed to be monitoring her. I liked the bits involving her family, and there are some very funny bits when she finds out she’s a coworker's fake fiancée. Normally I like books about people getting their shit together, but this just didn’t totally work for me for some reason. B/B+.
