Critics Review
“Reading it’s like being in the breakroom, and those last few minutes before everybody goes back to work: There’s plenty of sharing of tales that undoubtedly caused a few red-faces once and happy stories of surviving an oops.Bosses will find reminders that patience is key. Readers will find a little bit of teasing inside this book, but it’s told in a roll-your-eyes, join-the-club kind of way.
This is the book you want for a new grad or new intern, and keep a copy in the C-Suite.”
–The Bookworm Sez
“Any grad heading out into the world needs this book. It features a collection of stories and advice for those entry-level years in the workplace, including the art of small talk and what to do if you see a coworker out in the wild.”

“Let’s be real; nobody strides into their first job and knocks it out of the park—it’s unwritten law that you’re going to have some “oops” moments. This book makes the unwritten written, including dozens of hilarious letters from (still employed!) adults on their recent career blunders. While the career advice sandwiched between these letters is useful, mostly, for a good laugh (i.e. do: ask your coworker if they’ve seen the game, don’t: ask your coworker if they’ve seen the new article on loneliness), the letters themselves are surprisingly useful.”
—Oprah Daily
“In just sixty lushly illustrated pages, the author of Kindred and Parable of the Sower makes a stunning case for informed hope in an unstable world.” —Oprah Daily
